Dr. Alcorn State University and the leading biochemistry and molecular biology in the Penn. Melanie McReynolds, National Science Foundation (NSF) received the interpersonal early career development (Career) award. This award recognizes those who are most distinguished by the NSF’s Early Career Faculty, recognized as role-role models and developing their mission.
“I am very grateful that God saw me suitable for blessing me with this honor,” said McReynolds. “As a scientist and teacher, the NSF Career Award allows me to bring me together in my laboratory and the $ 1.3 million to scient in my hometown.”
Five-year, 1.3 million dollars Award Dr. McReynolds will support the vital study of Doctor McReynolds, a fundamental molecule found in all living things. Nad + plays a decisive role in many cell functions. Nad + low levels are associated with type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s and cancer, including aging and various health problems.
“I came to the HBCU-up program funded by NSF in the Alcorn State University I started in Science. This earned NSF support to follow my wildest dreams during my early career.”
Dr. McReynolds’s research uses Nematode Worm Caenorohabdit to learn the function and regulation of Elegans, nad + (nicotinamide Adenine Dinukleotide). Nad + is an important molecule, which participates in mobile energy metabolism, DNA repairs and other signal paths.
Outside the laboratory work, Dr. McReynolds also explores the additional market that grows. “They give the worms nad + add-ons to see how students, behavior, reproduction and life affecting their life.” “Nad + additives are like a big industry as with B3. But how they work and the effects of a lot of things are still unknown.”
Dr. McReynolds also related to science education in society. He will host Mississippi Winston County, Mississippi State Seminars for Medium and High School Students in Winston County. Young students will learn about basic science practices, and elderly students will see how different stresses affect the energy use of worms.
“My students and I have my hometown, Louisville, Miss.” Finally, we hope that the students who have been participating in a few years will mentor. “
Dr. McReynolds’ career is celebrated with a large number of rewards and significant scientific contributions.
He was an increase in the Symposium of the Symposium in the Symposium of Madna Hanna H.Bu (2018) by the NOWARD Hughes Medical Institute (2018) by Utah (2021) (2018) in the symposium “2021) symposium (2021) As a list of the black scientists who inspire America’s top 100 American, a rising star was named. The study was published in leading magazines, including nature and science.
Before joining the Faculty of Penn, Dr. McReynolds was a post-posted researcher in Princeton University since 2021, 2021, from 2021 to 2021 to 2021. In 2017, he graduated from a doctoral degree in biochemistry and molecular biology at Pennsylvania State University.
