		Martin Purschke, PhD Instructor My research interest is the cellular stress response after exposure to heat or cold. In particular, I am researching the loss of cell viability and the generation of DNA damage and apoptosis following such exposure.

		Fernanda Sakamoto, MD Instructor At the Wellman Center, my primary interest is the use of lasers and photodynamic therapy for the treatment of skin lesions and cancers. Because acne is the most common disease in dermatology, I am working on the development of methods to selectively damage the sebaceous glands.
