In addition to neurobiology, Pollock has taught such subjects as developmental biology, light microscopy, physics, calculus, astronomy and ethics. of the School of Pharmacy of the Rangos School of Health Sciences at Duquesne University analyzing the involvement of neuroinflammation in the changes in TRPV1 expression and the attenuation of inflammation with nano-emulsion delivered drug therapy. Pollock also collaborates with Jelena Janjic, Ph.D. Following his independent cloning of TRP in the 1980s, Pollock has re-focused his research on TRP related proteins that are involved in pain sensation in the peripheral nervous system. His research has more recently identified that the RUNX1 transcription factor, Lozenge, initially influences cells with undetermined fates to choose survival over death, while Lozenge proteins contribute to how a cell chooses a specific fate. He also helped to develop techniques for the subcellular localization of mRNAs by high voltage electron microscopy.
His early work explored the cell specific expression of genes such as sevenless, the opsins and arrestins. Pollock's research in neurobiology focused on the development of nerve cells in the fruit fly Drosophila.
DR. BLOBERT DUQUESNE FULL
In 2001 he became an associate professor of biology and then full professor at Duquesne University, where he continues his research in molecular neurobiology and serves as director of the graduate program. Pollock worked at Carnegie Mellon University as an assistant and associate professor of biology and director of biological sciences graduate programs. He did his post doctoral training at the California Institute of Technology with Seymour Benzer, where he studied the molecular neurogenetics of the developing eye and brain. in biophysics in 1984 under the guidance of Dr. in physics from Syracuse University, Pollock earned his Ph.D. He serves as a faculty affiliate at the BrainHub at Carnegie Mellon University and separately at the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, University of Pittsburgh/ UPMC. Pollock holds the additional title of co-director for the Chronic Pain Research Consortium at Duquesne University. He is Principal Investigator for The Partnership in Education, a non-profit multidisciplinary health literacy and informal science education project at Duquesne University funded primarily through a Science Education Partnership Award(SEPA) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a component of the National Institutes of Health. Pollock, is a Full Professor of Biological Science at Duquesne University Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences, where he researches and teaches molecular neurobiology.
