Lawrence Cornett

Lawrence Cornett is a Professor and Director of the Arkansas INBRE program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, Department of Physiology and Cell Biology. His research focuses on neurohypophysial hormone signaling and adrenergic receptor regulation.

• Specialization: Vasotocin receptor characterization in avian species
• Methodology: Immunohistochemistry, radioimmunoassays, in situ hybridization

Research trends indicate significant contributions to understanding:

• Vasotocin-CRH receptor interactions in stress response
• Mechanisms of glucocorticoid-regulated adrenergic receptor expression
• Receptor heterodimerization and signaling amplification

The Arkansas INBRE program under his direction focuses on Cellular Signaling, Growth, and Differentiation, with NIH/NIGMS funding through the IDeA Program.
