Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Derek J. Dean's research interests span multiple disciplines, including plant genetics, neuroscience, and behavioral science. His recent work in plant science has focused on applying Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and genomic selection for marker-assisted development in common bean and soybean cultivars. This includes efforts to enhance Fusarium wilt resistance in common beans and develop sucrose-enriched soybean varieties.

In the realm of neuroscience and behavioral science, Dean has contributed to the understanding of mental health conditions. His publications include a scoping review on interpersonal coordination in schizophrenia and a meta-analytic review examining the immediate and sustained effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on psychopathology symptoms in schizophrenia. He has also investigated the genetic and molecular underpinnings of neurological processes, such as the role of a Na+/K+ ATPase complex in epileptogenesis in *Drosophila melanogaster*.

Dean's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 25, with 63 total publications and over 2,000 citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He actively collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Awais Riaz, Theresa Makawa Phiri, Kenani Chiwina, and Ainong Shi, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Dean maintains an active lab website.
