Derby, Charles - Georgia State University

个人简介

B.S. Biology, University of North Carolina 1976 Ph.D. Biology Boston University 1984 Sensory biology Chemical Senses Neuroethology Charles Derby was trained broadly in biology as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina, and in neuroscience and marine biology as a graduate student at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Florida. The focus of his research centers on sensory biology, especially the chemical senses, with the objective of understanding how nervous systems are organized to allow animals to detect, identify, and respond to natural chemicals. His laboratory uses crustaceans (lobsters, crabs, crayfish), mollusks (sea hares, cephalopods), and fish (sea catfish, wrasses, flounder) as model organisms, using a variety of techniques to answer questions involving different levels of sensory systems, including molecular, immunocytochemical, anatomical, electrophysiological, and behavioral approaches. The research is interdisciplinary and collaborative, and includes translational research in fisheries management, development of antimicrobials, and formulation of attractants for aquaculture of marine animals. He has received the GSU College of Arts & Sciences Outstanding Faculty Scholarship Award (2000), GSU Outstanding Faculty Achievement Award (1994), and Kenji Nakanishi Research Award for Outstanding Research in Olfaction (1987). He is associate editor for The Biological Bulletin, and has held leadership roles in the Association for Chemoreception Sciences and the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology. He has served as associate dean of the College of Arts & Sciences and associate chair of the Department of Biology, and is currently director of graduate studies in the Neuroscience Institute.
