Janusz Borycz completed his Ph.D. program in 1997at the Institute of Pharmacology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Krakow, Poland. His focus being on neurotransmitter modulation of hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. During his doctoral studies, he has developed a method for HPLC histamine determination in the nervous tissue, which resulted in getting an invitation from Dr. Meinertzhagen, Dalhousie University, Canada, who was interested in histamine turnover in the Drosophila photoreceptors. In 1999 he received a NATO-funded postdoctoral fellowship and he spent the next 3 years in Meinertzhagen’s lab, where he was developing HPLC methods for fruit fly and this work resulted in some interesting papers focusing on histamine recycling. In 2004, he started another postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, NIH, Baltimore, MD, at the lab of Drs. Goldberg and Ferre. His research was focused on psychostimulants and their effects on dopamine, 5-HT and glutamate release in the striatum and other brain areas. In 2007 he returned to Dalhousie University where from the beginning he was involved in teaching the Neuroscience Program courses as well as continuing collaboration with Dr. Meinertzhagen in research of neurotransmitter transporters. Janusz Borycz is a co-author of 50 scientific publications.
