1 NAME Mariella De Biasi era COMMONS USER NAME DEBIASI BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH POSITION TITLE Associate Professor EDUCATION/TRAINING (Begin with baccalaureate or other initial professional education, such as nursing, and include postdoctoral training.) INSTITUTION AND LOCATION DEGREE YEAR(s) FIELD OF STUDY University of Padova B.S Medicinal Chemistry University of Padova Ph.D Pharmacology &Toxicology A. Personal Statement As an undergraduate and graduate student, I trained in systems physiology and in vivo behavioral analyses of rodent models. As a postdoc, I trained in ion channel biophysics and molecular biology with Arthur M. Brown. After becoming an independent investigator, I focused my studies on the nicotinic cholinergic system and its roles in normal brain function and drug addiction. During the past 16 years I made significant contributions to the nicotinic field by characterizing a number of nicotinic receptor mutant mice. My laboratory unveiled the role of various nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nachr) subtypes in autonomic function, the mechanisms of anxiety, and the brain circuits underlying nicotine withdrawal. The main focus has been the analysis of mice null for the α3, α5, and β4 nachr subunits. Our studies have indicated a prominent role for those subunits in the behavioral effects of both low and high nicotine doses as well as their specific influence on the physical manifestations of nicotine withdrawal. Indeed, we were the first to show that expression of α5-, α2- and/or β4-containing nachrs in the medial habenula (MHb)/interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) axis is necessary for the manifestation of nicotine withdrawal. The MHb/IPN axis is also involved in anxiety, depression, seizure, and has a role in controlling the amounts of nicotine that animals self-administer. My lab has either generated or acquired a number of viral vectors that we are using to change nachr expression levels in the whole brain as well as in specific neuronal subtypes. Viral vectors for nachr subunit knockdown are also available that can be used to significantly reduce nachrs in the whole brain or specific neuronal populations. All these tools are supporting current, in depth analyses of nicotinic cholinergic mechanisms in nicotine and ethanol addiction, and will be used in the proposed studies on the mechanisms of morphine withdrawal. I have a track record of collaborative work with a number of colleagues in the nicotinic field and look forward to the interactions with Imad Damaj, already a collaborator, and Paul Kenny. Each of us brings to the table different kinds of expertise and approaches that are synergistic. In summary, I have demonstrated that I can direct and manage successful and productive research projects. The expertise acquired in the nicotinic cholinergic field, the techniques available to the lab, and my experience as mentor and lab director will allow me to successfully contribute to the proposed work.
