Graduate Student

Peter Andrew is a student in the Pharmacology and Toxicology Graduate Program. After graduating from Tufts University, he worked for two years in the Tufts-AstraZeneca Laboratory for Basic and Translational Neuroscience. His graduate research for CounterACT involves the assessment of neuroprotective strategies against intoxication with organophosphates. 

Jeremy MacMahon is a graduate student in the Pharmacology and Toxicology Graduate Program. His research involves characterizing the role of neuroinflammation in chemical exposures and identifying neuroprotective compounds to prevent the long term cognitive decline associated with these exposures.

Maria Muñoz is a graduate student in the Pharmacology and Toxicology Graduate Program. She first worked as an undergraduate researcher studying the effects of environmental pollution on the lung, and then after graduation, in a cancer biology lab developing models of soft-tissue sarcomas. Maria is working to neuroprotective compounds against the toxic effects from acute organophosphate exposure.

Chelsea Unkel is a Ph.D. student in the Pharmacology and Toxicology Graduate Program. She studies the role of neuroinflammation following acute organophosphate intoxication and potential therapeutics to reduce long-term sequalae, emphasizing translational models and understanding of epileptogenesis.
