Cell and Molecular Physiology
|
 |
Paco
Andrade always wanted to do biomedical research even though
he didn’t know anyone like that growing up. He now studies the
muscles of the eyes and voice box under normal conditions and during
disease at a major research university |
 |
Kim
Barrett wanted to be a chemist. But when she started working
on physiology problems and studying diseases in the gut, she found
her true career |
 |
Dale Benos
wanted to be a doctor until he tried research. He works with cells
and studies the movement of ions in and out of cells, especially
when it doesn’t work right in some diseases |
 |
Barb
Goodman wanted to be a doctor, then decided to become a
researcher studying the lungs, and now enjoys working with South
Dakota science teachers and students |
 |
Carole Liedtke teaches students and does research on how the lungs
handle fluids, how this is changed by genetic diseases, and how to
correct this mistake so that the lungs can function normally. She
works hard for APS and just got elected to be on the APS Council and
help run the Society |
 |
Thomas
Pressley wanted to study marine biology. Then he decided
that the physiology of cells was more interesting |
 |
Hector
Rasgado-Flores loves playing and composing music. His research
is on the movement of ions and volume regulation in muscle cells
during contraction |
 |
Michael Romero
studies cells and is married to another physiologist |
 |
Jeff
Sands wanted to do research on how urine is concentrated in
a specific portion of the kidney. He did it by getting an M.D.
instead of a Ph.D. degree, so he also gets to treat patients |
 |
Caroline Sussman wanted to be a dancer but decided instead to find out how
cells determine their identities, for example, become brain cells
instead of skin or muscle cells |

Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology

 |
Hannah
Carey wanted to be a vet. When she discovered research would
let her study how animals hibernate, that was much more exciting
than treating sick animals |
 |
Greg
Florant studies hibernating marmots to find out whether
their increase in body fat for the winter causes them to show the
health consequences of obesity |
 |
James
Norton teaches physiology to medical students. He also does
research on dinosaurs and is trying to reconstruct their breathing
apparatus to figure out whether or not they were warm-blooded and
more active than modern reptiles |

Alonso-Galicia does research for a drug company to help
discover new and better drugs for people with cardiovascular
diseases |

for a drug company helping to find potential new drugs and then work
them through the approval process to get them into doctors hands |
 |
Scott Mittelstadt
loves sports. He works for a drug company testing how new drugs work
on the heart, lungs, brain, and nerves of both sick and healthy
people over time |
 |
Karen Mittleman
started out studying exercise physiology and how the body regulates
its temperature even in the cold. Now she oversees
medical/scientific writing for a drug company, helping them publish
results on new drugs |
 |
Barry Peterson
develops new drugs for lung diseases at a drug company after a
career teaching at a university |

Now that he has his Ph.D., he does research in the Army on human
performance in hot and cold weather and studies whether the injury
and disease rates rise because of the climate |
| |

Kathy O’Hagan
decided that she liked teaching as much as research, so she looked
for a job that would let her do both. She studies the effect
pregnancy has on the regulation of blood flow in the uterine artery
during exercise. |
| |
Hector
Rasgado-Flores loves playing and composing music. His research
is on the movement of ions and volume regulation in muscle cells
