Hire Dr. Greg Buchan

Profile Summary

This summer, I will graduate with a PhD in molecular pharmacology from the University of Pittsburgh. My projects have focused mainly on understanding the effects of lipids on inflammation. I have experience in flow cytometry as well as mass spectrometry and typical molecular biology techniques (e.g. western blot). I'm adept at design in vitro and in vivo experiments to understand drug responses in the context of immunity and consequently have expert knowledge of immunology and pharmacology. I hope to meet collaborators who want to combine these fields and better understand how varying molecules, drugs, xenobiotics, toxins, etc... impact a variety of immune responses. In addition to collaborations in research, I'm highly interested in science communications and writing - with the goal of improving science-lawmaker-public relations (think vaccines).
