Courtney received her undergraduate degree (BS) in Neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh in 2013. Her senior thesis was with Drs. Eric Kelley and Meg Tarpey studying reactive oxygen species damage in the brains of morbidly obese mice. After graduation, she joined the Neuroscience Graduate Program at the University of Cincinnati and began rotations in July 2013. In 2014, she joined the McCullumsmith laboratory where she is studying metabolic abnormalities in schizophrenia. For her dissertation work, she is currently examining metabolic abnormalities at the region and cellular level from schizophrenia subjects compared with control subjects. This includes measuring mRNA expression, protein expression, enzyme activity, and substrate levels in postmortem brain. Laser-capture microdissection-qPCR was used to examine these pathways at the cellular level. She is also working to examine these pathways in an animal model of schizophrenia, the GluN1 hypomorph. Courtney will graduate in Spring 2018 where she plans on pursuing a career in science commercialization.
