Urinary Tract Infections affect millions of women worldwide and can be a painful nuisance at best. For some women, they suffer from recurrent UTI's due to front-line antibiotics no longer being effective. What's worse is postmenopausal women are more than twice as likely to develop UTIs than women who have not yet gone through menopause. There aren't many options to exist for women who suffer from recurrent UTI's which is currently fueling the research of Dr. De Nisco and Dr. Zimmern here at UT Southwestern. At the moment, the funding support from the National Institute of Health and other funding institutions is limited. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations to support research in this area through our lab efforts.

The Gospocic group studies how epigenetic pathways and gene expression regulate brain plasticity in the context of social behavior and aging by working with a unique ant species Harpegnathos saltator. We take a multidisciplinary approach and combine functional genomics, biochemistry, and behavioral assays in H. saltator, as well as the conventional Drosophila and mouse models to expedite genetic screening and provide evolutionary context to identified epigenetic pathways.Specialty Areas: epigenetics, chromatin biology, gene regulation, social behavior, aging, neurodegeneration
