Jim Bogenpohl

I’m originally from St. Charles, Missouri, and I went to undergrad at Washington University in St. Louis where I received a bachelor’s degree in biology in 2004. While at WU, I spent three years researching the mammalian circadian clock. Shortly after graduating, I joined Emory’s Neuroscience Program in the Fall of 2004. After a few rotations, I joined Yoland’s lab where I am currently studying new pharmacological treatments for Parkinson’s Disease involving antagonism of metabotropic glutamate receptors and adenosine receptors. I will also examine the cellular and sub-cellular localization of these receptors in the basal ganglia of monkeys using electron microscopy. Like a few other members of our lab, my project will involve a strong collaboration with the lab of Thomas Wichmann. I enjoy working with animals, and I spend a lot of time with the rhesus macaques here at the Yerkes Primate Center.
