معرفی
Dr. Kurt Svoboda serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he leads the Laboratory for Developmental Neurobiology. His research program integrates environmental health sciences with neurobiological mechanisms using zebrafish models.
His educational background includes:
- Postdoctoral training in Physiology & Biophysics at University of Colorado HSC
- Postdoctoral training in Pharmacology at University of Colorado HSC
- PhD in Neurobiology & Behavior from State University of New York at Stony Brook
- BA in EPO Biology from University of Colorado at Boulder
Dr. Svoboda's research centers on developmental neurotoxicology, specifically investigating nicotine's impact on embryonic development through nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) pathways. His laboratory employs zebrafish as a vertebrate model to examine molecular and behavioral consequences of nicotine exposure during critical developmental windows, bridging environmental toxicology with neurodevelopmental biology.
