Research and Teaching Interests, in brief
I am a developmental neurobiologist. How the nervous system puts itself together during
development and how it repairs itself (or why it fails to do so) after injury, during disease, and during normal aging are issues of great interest
to me. Current research in the lab focuses on the neonatal rodent neuromuscular junction. Click here for more
information about the research conducted in my lab.
My current teaching responsibilities include an introductory neurobiology course each fall for undergraduate (ZO 488) and graduate (ZO 588) students
and selected topics in neuroscience each spring in a graduate seminar. I will also teach an honors seminar and ZO421 (Physiology) in Spring of 2008
(ZO 421 syllabus and schedule). Click here
for more information about the courses I teach.
Opportunities for Research and Study
The Triangle area -- which includes NCSU, Duke University, University of North Carolina, and
Research Triangle Park -- is home to an active neuroscience community. Neuroscientists in the area meet monthly to socialize and to discuss recent
developments in the neurosciences. Students at NCSU can also take courses offered at UNC and Duke. At NCSU, neurobiology is represented by faculty
in several departments as well as in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Also at NCSU, the Keck Center for Behavioral Biology brings together scientists
interested in the biological bases of behavior for monthly meetings, an annual symposium for student research, and an annual professional development
symposium. Members of my laboratory are encouraged to take advantage of these and other opportunities for interactions with members of the local
neuroscience community.
If you are interested in working in the lab, please read more about the research we conduct, then e-mail me
at jane_lubischer@ncsu.edu
