معرفی
David Kozlowski is a Professor at Augusta University with dual appointments in the Medical College of Georgia's Department of Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine and Department of Cellular Biology and Anatomy. He actively teaches medical and graduate courses while conducting research using zebrafish models to investigate fundamental developmental and neurological processes.
His educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Biology/Biological Sciences, University of Rochester, 1997
- MS in Biology/Biological Sciences, University of Rochester, 1992
- BS in Molecular Biology, University of Connecticut, 1990
Dr. Kozlowski's research spans Neuroscience, Developmental Biology, and Genetics, with emphasis on zebrafish models of human disease. His laboratory investigates craniofacial development, seizure disorders, hydrocephalus, and radiation/oxidative stress effects on embryogenesis using genetic knockdown techniques and behavioral phenotyping. Key molecular pathways under study include Wnt signaling and extracellular matrix interactions in neural development.
Analysis of his 2010-2017 publications reveals consistent focus on zebrafish as a vertebrate model for neurological conditions, with recurring themes in lgi1 gene function, seizure susceptibility, and craniofacial morphogenesis. His work bridges molecular genetics, neurobiology, and teratology through innovative approaches to modeling human developmental disorders.
No scientific awards are mentioned in the provided documentation.
While specific student advisees and grant details aren't listed, Dr. Kozlowski teaches BIOM 8130 (Scientific Grant Writing) and multiple neuroscience/physiology courses, indicating active mentorship in research methodology and funding acquisition. His course load includes foundational medical education (MEDI 6120) and specialized graduate instruction (BMNN 5101).
Research infrastructure details are not specified, though his zebrafish-based investigations imply access to transgenic model systems and behavioral phenotyping facilities within the Medical College of Georgia's neuroscience research ecosystem.
