Adrian M. Jones

I am an undergraduate student studying biomedical engineering. As a member of the biomedical acoustics sector of Dr. Khistmatullin's Lab I help study the impact of focused ultrasound on neuron regeneration in the central nervous system. The major goals of this project are to produce an in vitro system integrating ultrasound with neuron axon dynamics for neurogenesis and investigate the stimulation of corticospinal axon growth after molecular therapy via inhibitors and promoters by ultrasound treatment. Dorsal root ganglion are used and upon ultrasound treatment should promote axon growth and increase neurotrophic factors. I am currently contributing by working to adapt and develop a code in MATLAB to analyze neuron density and area.

I am excited to be working on a noninvasive treatment for nerve injury in the CNS and contribute to a previously unsolved problem. In addition to working in the lab, I enjoy playing the flute in the Tulane University Marching Band. One of my favorite things that I have done in New Orleans is march and dance in Mardi Gras parades.
