Courtney Matheny, PhD, has always had a passion for helping people. She knew from the age of 12, after learning that a friend had a congenital heart defect, that she wanted to make her mark in the world through medicine.
Matheny was originally considering medical school when she went to work in the lab of Drs. Rich and Heather Steet at the University of Georgia. “It didn’t take long for me to absolutely fall in love with using zebrafish to study human disease,” said Matheny, “and within six months of working for the Steets, I decided to apply to graduate school.”
Upon completing her PhD at Emory University, Matheny realized that throughout graduate school she had lost some of her passion because her research wasn’t directly helping anyone. It was then that she reached out to Dr. Heather Flanagan-Steet, who had since moved her zebrafish lab to the Greenwood Genetic Center.
“Even though I didn’t work for her anymore, she was still my mentor,” said Matheny. “She told me about what they were doing at GGC and how I could be a part of it. The compassion I have for others is what truly drives me forward in my scientific career, and rejoining the Steets’ lab at GGC just felt like the right thing for me to do.”
Dr. Matheny joined GGC in 2022 as a postdoctoral associate, or postdoc, in the Center’s Research Division.
A postdoc is a position that many scientists pursue after graduate school to provide additional research experience, skills, and training to further prepare them for a faculty-level career in academia or research.
Dr. Matheny’s current projects involve working with zebrafish in GGC’s Allin Aquaculture Facility to better understand the causes of neurological symptoms experienced by patients with rare metabolic disorders such as congenital disorders of glycosylation and lysosomal storage disorders.
“I love working with model organisms like the zebrafish because they are such an elegant solution to understanding our own biology and diseases,” said Matheny. “Our goal should be to understand how a mutation affects the whole body and you can only do that by studying the whole organism.”
To perform driver evaluations, an employer must present the driver in violation of a DOT drug and alcohol test with a list of Substance Abuse Professionals (SAP) that have had the appropriate DOT training and obtained the required credentials.
Whether, an employer retains the driver or not; the SAP list must be made available to the driver, without a fee.
Treatment and EducationDuring the clinical evaluation of the driver at a face-to-face meeting, the SAP counselor near me will give him a referral to a treatment or an education program.
However, the SAP is required to have a working knowledge of what counselors and programs can be made available to the driver as per his individual condition.
With his diagnostic determinations that lead to the treatment plan, the SAP will facilitate a referral to the driver into a return-to-work program.
This is derived after another face-to-face evaluation with the driver and the information provided by the treatment or education program.
