I am an assistant professor of experimental psychology and direct the [[Hartman Behavioral Neuroscience Lab]] at [[Loma Linda University]] in southern California. I graduated from Missouri State University in 1993 with a BS in experimental psychology. I then enrolled in the [http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~psych/graduate.html#bbc Behavior, Brain & Cognition] program at Washington University in St. Louis, where I studied rodent behavior and neurodegeneration under behavioral expert [http://www.psychiatry.wustl.edu/c/Faculty/FacultyDetails.aspx?ID=155 Dave Wozniak] in [http://psychiatry.wustl.edu/c/Faculty/FacultyDetails.aspx?ID=282 John Olney's] lab. During this time, I helped Dave set up Washington University's Animal Behavioral Core facility. I obtained my PhD on September 11, 2001, and then trained for 4 years in the lab of Alzheimer's disease guru [http://neuro.wustl.edu/aboutus/facultybiographies/holtzman.htm Dave Holtzman]. While in the Holtzman lab, I worked with a number of transgenic and gene-knockout mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and learned biochemical/histological techniques for assessing levels of plaque deposition in the brain.
