Dr. Jannet Kocerha serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Chemistry, and Physics at Georgia Southern University's College of Science and Mathematics, with office location in Statesboro Chemistry & Nursing Building Room 2216A. Contact details include phone (912) 478-4201 and email rkocerha@georgiasouthern.edu.
Her academic credentials feature:
- B.S. in Chemistry from Indiana University
- M.S. in Biology from Purdue University
- Ph.D. in Biochemistry from University of Florida
- Postdoctoral training at Scripps Research Institute
- Additional postdoctoral work at Mayo Clinic
Research centers on molecular mechanisms of neurobehavioral disorders and cancer through epigenetic regulation and microRNA pathways. Her work integrates biochemical, genetic, and pharmacological approaches to investigate therapeutic targets for addiction, neurodegenerative conditions, and oncological applications. Publications in premier journals demonstrate rigorous interdisciplinary methodology spanning molecular neuroscience to chemical biology.
Publication trends reveal consistent focus on microRNA's role in disease pathogenesis since 2009, evolving toward therapeutic applications in recent work. Key themes include epigenomic dysregulation in behavioral disorders, redox-targeted cancer interventions, and neuropharmacological mechanisms of substance abuse.
Teaching responsibilities encompass foundational chemistry curriculum including Survey of Chemistry I/II (CHEM 1151/1152), Principles of Chemistry I/II (CHEM 1211/1212), Comprehensive General Chemistry (CHEM 1310), Principles of Biochemistry (CHEM 3530), and Organic Chemistry laboratories (CHEM 3401/3402).
