Collaborators

Dr. Ken Dawson-Scully was Dr. Naraine's doctoral advisor and continues to be a respected mentor and partner in research space and projects, with a special emphasis on the Glyphosate-related projects. Dr. Dawson-Scully and his team bring key experience and expertise in inveterate electrophysiology and confocal imaging among other critical contributions. We are proud to continue a long-standing research relationship. 

Dr. Per Sveningsson was Dr. Naraine's postdoctoral advisor and continues to be a respected mentor and research partner. Dr. Svenningsson leverages his extensive clinical expertise in Parkinson’s Disease to guide his team in focusing on neuropharmacological and behavioral elements of Parkinson’s Disease. We are fortunate to maintain a strong, international relationship with a global leader in Parkinson’s research. 

Dr. Roger LeBlanc played a significant role in fortifying the nanomedicine project. Dr. LeBlanc is one of the original pioneers in nanoparticles and carbon dot synthesis. Him and his team are synthesizing novel carbon dots to pursue breakthrough Parkinson’s therapeutics. Additionally, Dr. Eduardo Veliz, a medicinal chemist and expert in medicinal synthesis, works with us to screen novel neuropharmacophores. Their knowledge and extensive experience allow us to pursue interdisciplinary aims. They provide a strong foundation in chemical synthesis that springboards our drug development goals. 

Dr. Rebecca McPherson is a talented and motivated data scientist. Her commitment to academia allowed her to soar to great heights at Morehouse College’s Data Science Department, and she continues to be a wonderful collaborator in her role in the pharmaceutical industry. Not only does she lend her expertise in animal physiology and data science to ongoing projects, she mentors students and provides valuable insight for students exploring industry careers.
