Research Areas
Dr. Patterson's primary research interests include neurotoxicology and neuropharmacology, including development and validation of animal models to predict neurotoxicity in humans, using both pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic approaches; developing novel assays to measure neurotoxic compounds and their metabolites in the blood and brain, and determining their effects on neurotransmitters; and implementing and validating genomic and proteomic techniques utilizing laser capture microdissection (LCM) to search for biomarkers of neurotoxicity. Over the past three years he has been incorporating molecular biology techniques (real-time PCR, RNA amplification, microarray, etc.) into the already established approaches (neurochemistry, neurohistology, behavior) within the Division of Neurotoxicology.
