Julie R. Mach

 

Julie Mach, a 1995-1999 Self Graduate Fellow, is an associate professor of chemistry at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. She received her Ph.D. in Pharmacology & Toxicology from the University of Kansas in 2000 under the mentorship of Dr. Elias Michaelis. Her dissertation project, titled "Cloning of a Bicistronic cDNA Encoding a Subunit of an NMDA Receptor-Like Complex", involved the cloning and characterization of a brain protein that comprises a receptor for glutamate. The work has contributed to a larger understanding of this receptor which plays significant roles in normal brain functions such as learning and memory and pathologic conditions such as epilepsy and alcoholism.

Mach is a founding member of the Society of Self Fellows and past president of the Board of Governors.
