Rate My Professor Karen Baskerville

Dr. Baskerville's research specializations encompass neurobiology, neurodegenerative diseases, learning and memory, immunohistochemistry, cell culture, PCR, Western blot analysis, gene expression, gel electrophoresis, and immunofluorescence. She leads the PA CURE Temple University-Lincoln University Minority Training Program, a four-year initiative funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Commonwealth Universal Research Enhancement Program, which mentors underrepresented undergraduate and master's students in research on substance use disorders through didactics, immersion at Temple University, and high-impact learning opportunities. Her contributions extend to partnerships such as the Lincoln University-Fox Chase Cancer Center summer internship program promoting minority access to cancer research careers. Baskerville has authored or co-authored 21 publications, including 'Using Open Neuroscience to Advance Equity in the Pedagogy and Research Infrastructure in Colleges/Universities Still Financially Impacted by COVID-19' (2023), 'Programmed Neuron Cells' Morphology Multiphase Assessment' (2017), 'Algorithmic Systematized Neuron Cells' Morphology Evaluation' (2017), 'Regulation of Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition Using Biomimetic Fibrous Scaffolds' (2016), 'Pairing of a Major Research University and an HBCU Institution to Promote Minority Student Access to Careers in Cancer Research' (2015), and 'Increased Cerebral Matrix Metalloprotease-9 Activity is Associated with Compromised Recovery in the Diabetic db/db Mouse Following a Stroke' (2011). Her work has garnered 726 citations on ResearchGate, influencing neuroscience education, student training at HBCUs, and research equity.
