I. College Research Mission and 20092010 Highlights

The mission of the College of Health Sciences (CHS) is to promote excellence in health and human services through university teaching, research and service with special emphasis on rural populations. As outlined in this annual report, the CHS continued its efforts to foster excellence in education and research during 2009‐2010. Members of the college are committed to academic excellence and to the attainment of regional, national, and international recognition for the quality of its educational, research, and service activities. Guided by the University of Wyoming Challenge for Excellence to become a preeminent research university, our research mission focuses on three broad objectives: 1. Provide instruction of the highest quality in health care disciplines for the education and

preparation of medical, pharmacy, nursing, and other health care professional students. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental principles necessary for life‐long learning and the essential knowledge required for rational and effective health care.

2. Provide high quality research, educational, and other scholarly experiences for the training of future biomedical scientists who can provide and advance biomedical education and research.

3. Provide high quality service to Laramie and the surrounding region, the state of Wyoming, and

the nation. The education programs in CHS offer: 1. Challenging degree programs in the fields of pharmacy, nursing, medicine, social work,

kinesiology and health, communication disorders, and allied health sciences. 2. An interdisciplinary minor in health sciences, a program with extended opportunities in

hospital administration, pre‐professional preparation in physical and occupational therapy, biomedical and research technology, and clinical and lab sciences.

3. A solid base for students who plan to attend medical, dental, or other professional schools. New Faculty Members in CHS (Primary Appointments)

The BMS program is designed to meet the needs and interests of students and to address important workforce demands for doctorate level biomedical research expertise. The new program is designed to position graduates for long‐term competitive success in the rapidly changing and multifaceted health‐related arena in the 21st century. It is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program, making connections between various disciplines to gain new insights, discover and apply new knowledge, and promote self‐directed, life‐long learning. Areas of BMS Ph.D. candidates' focus may include but are not limited to


5

cardiac health, nutrition, reproductive biology, toxicology, diagnostic and imaging, and medical engineering. Students are expected to conduct original, innovative research leading to publishable dissertations and to be involved in teaching. The program of study is designed according to student learning goals and research opportunities and promotes student competency in a series of outlined student learning outcomes. The program provides a unique array of formal courses and informal discovery experiences focused on ensuring aptitudes, behaviors, and skills necessary for leadership and competitive success in the biomedical science arena. Each student works directly with an adviser in his/her area of interest. The program enrolled 10 Ph.D. candidates in its first year, four of whom are Ph.D. candidates in the School of Pharmacy. The director of the BMS Program is Don Roth, Ph.D., Professor of Molecular Biology, Associate Director of the School of Energy Resources, and Director of the K12 Science Posse.

Her essays have appeared in journals such as MELUS (MultiEthnic Literatures of the United States), Review of Disability Studies, and several literary and disability studies anthologies. William E. MacLean, Jr., Ph.D. (Peabody College of Vanderbilt University): Director and Professor. Dr. MacLean’s research focuses on the development of stereotyped and self‐injurious behavior in young children with developmental disabilities and the relation between stressful social interactions and depression in adults with intellectual disability.

She has two current projects. One project has demonstrated that perinatal nutritional iron deficiency produces permanent alterations in dopaminergic‐dependent synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Her second project demonstrates that BxD strains of inbred mice with low and high levels of brain iron show respectively impaired and normal dopaminergic synaptic transmission in the hippocampus. Moreover, this study demonstrates that low levels of brain iron can impact developmental neurophysiology independent of nutritional intake. Ashley will present some of these findings at the Annual Society for Neuroscience conference in San Diego in November.
