Patrick McCue received a B.S. (1998) and M.S. (2000) in Biochemistry and a Ph.D. (2004) in Molecular Biology from The University of Massachusetts-Amherst. His doctorate and graduate work involved the study of dietary phenolic antioxidants for chemoprevention of oxidation-linked disease and of phenolic antioxidant biosynthesis in legumes. Patrick joined USRA’s Division of Space Life Sciences in 2004 as a BFSB Postdoctoral Fellow and begins his postdoctoral research work with Dr. Viktor Stolc, Branch Chief of the NASA Ames Genome Research Facility at Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. His research will focus on the effect of space radiation on physiology using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism to profile for genes affecting UV, X- and Gamma radiation sensitivity and the effects of certain oxidative stress antagonists as radiation countermeasures.
