VISION RESEARCH CENTER FACULTY

Dr. Daryl Goad, PhD

Dr. Goad received his training in cellular regulation/cellular signaling in the laboratory of Melanie H. Cobb, Ph.D. at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.  His dissertation written in 2008 is entitled "The regulation of cellular localization of both active and inactive ERK 1/2."  Additionally Dr. Goad completed a Master of Arts degree in photography from Sam Houston State University in 1993 under the mentorship of O.E. Jackson M.F.A., Ed.D.  Dr. Goad's masters thesis is entitled "Design and application of a system for infrared surveillance photography in Brazos County, Texas."

Currently, Dr. Goad is a research scientist in the laboratory of Peter Koulen, Ph.D. Dr. Goad is able to combine his imaging expertise with his training in cellular signaling to elucidate the regulation of intra-cellular Ca2+ signaling in neuronal cells and tissues using high resolution light microscopy.
