Overview

Shawn R. Lockery is affiliated with the University of Oregon in the United States and has contributed to research primarily in the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology and Medicine. Their work spans multiple subfields including Aging, Physiology, Endocrine and Autonomic Systems, Pharmacology, and Ecology.

The research topics that Lockery has focused on include Genetics, Aging, and Longevity in Model Organisms, Circadian Rhythm and Melatonin, Spaceflight Effects on Biology, Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, Dietary Effects on Health, Agriculture Sustainability and Environmental Impact, and Psychedelics and Drug Studies.

Lockery has published in several well-recognized venues, most frequently contributing to bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) with six publications. Other venues include eLife, PLoS ONE, Current Biology, and Biomicrofluidics.

Their recent scholarly papers include the following:

  • "The conserved endocannabinoid anandamide modulates olfactory sensitivity to induce hedonic feeding in C. elegans" (2023, Current Biology)
  • "The nematode worm C. elegans chooses between bacterial foods as if maximizing economic utility" (2023, eLife)
  • "The nematode worm C. elegans chooses between bacterial foods as if maximizing economic utility" (2021, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory))
  • "Theory and practice of using cell strainers to sort Caenorhabditis elegans by size" (2023, PLoS ONE)
  • "Microinjection in C. elegans by direct penetration of elastomeric membranes" (2023, Biomicrofluidics)

Lockery has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including:

  • Serge Faumont
  • A. M. White
  • Kathy D Chicas-Cruz
  • Steven W. Flavell
  • Anastasia Levichev

Over the course of their career, Lockery has been awarded fellowships such as Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation in 2008 and Fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 1994.
