Paul Gasser is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Marquette University, where he has been a faculty member since 2007. He received his Ph.D. in Biology from Arizona State University in 2005 and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Bristol’s Henry Wellcome Laboratories for Integrative Neuroscience and Endocrinology.
- Ph.D. in Biology, Arizona State University (2005)
Dr. Gasser’s research investigates how stress hormones (glucocorticoids) and monoamine neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine) alter neuronal and glial cell structure/function, with implications for stress adaptation and disease pathophysiology. His work spans subcellular receptor localization, gene expression regulation, and neurochemical dynamics in conditions ranging from neuropsychiatric disorders to cancer.
Key research trends from his publications include adrenergic receptor signaling, organic cation transporter (OCT3) mechanisms, corticosterone-dopamine interactions, and stress-induced modulation of neural plasticity. His recent studies (2025–2024) focus on intracellular β2-adrenergic receptor regulation of synaptic plasticity and nuclear PKA signaling in astrocytes.
Scientific achievements include:
- National Science Foundation International Research Fellowship
Dr. Gasser teaches biochemistry and neuroscience courses to undergraduate and graduate students. His laboratory personnel include graduate students Jenree Maglasang and Brendan Fosgitt, and technician Michael Szymanski. Current projects explore adrenergic receptor localization, gene expression regulation in astrocytes/glioma cells, and stress hormone impacts on neurotransmitter dynamics.
