WiR redlist index: Biology


Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR). Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our scope is women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues, broadly construed.

This list of red links is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles on the English Wikipedia. Please note however that the red links on this list may well not be suitable as the basis for an article. All new articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria with reliable independent sources.

Neuroscience

US

  • Gwyneth Card, an associate professor of neuroscience at Columbia University and a principal investigator at Columbia's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute. She is interested in the neural mechanisms and circuit architectures that underlie visually guided behavioral choices in the fly. [14]
  • Ellie Heckscher, a faculty member at the University of Chicago, she studies development and function of the sensorimotor system. [15]
  • Adrianne Huxtable, an associate professor of human physiology and neuroscience at the University of Oregon. Research in the Huxtable laboratory focuses on the neural control of breathing (the central brainstem and spinal cord networks), with a specific focus on how inflammation (throughout the body and/or brain) undermines breathing. [16]
  • Angeles B. Ribera, a professor of physiology and biophysics in the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Ribera is interested in determining the mechanisms that direct differentiation of electrical excitability in neurons, and, in turn, how activity regulates neuronal development. Studies span the period from when neurons exit the cell cycle and begin terminal differentiation and to when synaptic interactions emerge. To have access to the relevant early stages of development, uses a classic vertebrate embryological system - the zebrafish, Danio rerio. [17] Guggenheim fellow [18]]
  • Phyllis R Robinson (b. 1951), a professor of biological sciences at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The aim of her research is to understand how information in the environment is transformed into an appropriate biological signal. Studies signal transduction in photoreceptors for they are accessible to a variety of techniques, providing a system in which it is possible to interface the approaches of biochemistry, molecular biology and physiology. [19]
  • Melissa Rolls, is the Paul Berg professor of biochemistry at The Pennsylvania State University. She and her lab are interested in how neurons generate axons and dendrites with different functions and constituents, and how they maintain function over the lifetime of an animal.[20]
  • Elinor Sullivan, an associate professor of psychiatry, in the School of Medicine at Oregon Health Sciences University(OHSU). Her research focuses on examining the influence of early environmental factors on child neurobehavioral regulation, with an emphasis on behaviors that relate to mental health and behavioral disorders including autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression. [21]
  • Nicole Swann, as assistant professor of human physiology at the University of Oregon.Nicole Swann is an academic expert in neuroscience, electrophysiology, and movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. At the University of Oregon, she is an assistant professor of human physiology. Nicole studies how different parts of the human brain interact to generate and control movements and how these processes can be disrupted in disease.[22]
  • Janis Weeks, an academic expert in neuroplasticity and infectious and parasitic diseases. She is a neuroscientist who studied plasticity in synaptic transmission and neural circuits before shifting her research focus to infectious and parasitic diseases [23]
  • Dasa Zeithamova, an associate professor of cognitive science and systems neuroscience in the Department of Psychology at the University of Oregon. Her research focuses on how we use different memory systems to build generalized knowledge, such as schemas or concepts, and how our ability to generalize interacts with our ability to retain specific details. Primary research tools include computer-based experiments, formal models of behavior, and advanced functional MRI methods. [24]
