报告人简介：
Dr. Frank M. Scalzo, Associate Professor of Bard College. He obtained his Bachelor degree at St. Bonaventure University in 1980. Then, he obtained his Masters degree and PhD degree at Binghamton University. In 1985, he moved to Columbia University and began his postdoctoral research training until 1987. From 1987 to 1990 he continued his postdoctoral research training at Oak Ridge Associated Universities,Jefferson, Arkansas. From 1990 to 2000, Dr. Scalzo was Assistant Professor, and promoted to Associate Professor at University of Arkansas. From 2000 to present, he has been Associate Professor in Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. Prof. Scalzo’s group uses zebrafish to study the effects of psychoactive compounds on structure and motor behavior in larvae, and has published papers in Neurotoxicology and Teratology, Neurotoxicology, Physiology and Behavior, and Psychopharmacology.
