Title: Computational Biology Initiative

URL: http://cbi.utsa.edu/

Description: The Computational Biology Initiative (CBI) is a new interdisciplinary initiative at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) and the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) which was launched in January 2005. The overall goal of the initiative is to build infrastructure to significantly advance collaborative interdisciplinary bioscience research in San Antonio. Currently, healthcare and biotechnology industries lead the San Antonio economy with an estimated annual economic impact of over $13 billion and employ almost 100,000 citizens. The San Antonio area is developing a burgeoning biotechnology base. The objectives of this program are to foster the use of state-of-the-art core computational and analytic facilities, to enhance local expertise in San Antonio bioscience community, and to develop training opportunities.

Title: Paladini Research Lab

URL: http://paladinilab.utsa.edu/

Description: The Paladini Lab, a part of the University of Texas at San Antonio Neurosciences Institute, researches the dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the ventral mesencephalon that are a part of a pathway that regulates reward-seeking behaviors and are the principal cells affected in Parkinson's Disease and addiction. Many drugs of abuse exert dysregulating effects on levels of dopamine and other neurotransmitters, resulting in widespread effects on DA neuron firing pattern. Psychostimulants (e.g., cocaine and amphetamine) alter interactions among multiple receptor subtypes that are co-expressed on DA neurons. Changes in DA neuron activity secondary to altered receptor interactions may underlie many of the behavioral changes associated with drug addiction independently of natural reward seeking mechanisms like feeding. The projects in the lab are funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (DA016262), the National Institute of Mental Health (MH079276), and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NS060658).
