Alfred Amendolara MS, DO (3rd year student, expected graduation 2025) (website)
Areas of expertise: neuroscience/neurology, machine learning and AI, epidemiology

Relevant experience:

Professional - My research interests are fairly diverse and span from designing and implementing machine learning models to investigating the neuronal pathways responsible for central pattern generation. I initially worked as a graduate research assistant at Fortune Lab at New Jersey Institute of Technology. During this time I completed my thesis which modeled influenza trends using cutting edge machine learning tools. I went on to work as a research associate at Severi Lab, also at New Jersey Institute of Technology for several years. There I investigated zebra fish motor circuitry using both behavioral experiments and, more recently, computational modeling. I continue to be affiliated with NJIT, although no longer in a paid position. I am currently a 3rd year medical student. I spent the first year in the Addiction Lab at Brigham Young University performing electrophysiological experiments investigating the neural pathways responsible for alcohol dependence. I am currently working in the Payne Lab at Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine as a graduate research assistant. Here I lead a number of projects including protein modeling of KCC2 channels in the brain (in order to investigate its role in addiction behaviors) as well as several in progress systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Additionally I am involved in an on-going clinical trail investigating mechanical nerve stimulation for the treatment of migraines. Over the past year I have actively regularly in reviewing for a number of journals.
Publishing - Founding co-Editor-in-chief of Intermountain Journal of Translational Medicine. I currently serve as the co-editor-in-chief of Intermountain Journal of Translational Medicine, a newly formed peer-reviewed journal published by Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine aimed at early career researchers in the United States and beyond. We hope to complete our first issue by December of this year.

I confirm that I will act in accordance with the policies of the WikiJournal of Medicine. Alfred Amendolara (discuss • contribs) 05:12, 3 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • I am not sure that there is sufficient editorial experience with mainstream journals/publishers or with Wikipedia to support Rwatson1955 (discuss • contribs) 10:34, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Decline While the Intermountain Journal of Translational Medicine is open access, it is far too new and published too few papers for me to comment on its quality. The author made no contributions to any wiki projects since the application to demonstrate their continued interest in the open movement or publishing. In the applicant's ORCID profile, several Open Science Framework items were misclassified as "journal articles". This suggests that applicant is confused between research registry and publications.

  • I really appreciate Sideeq's Wikipedia contributions to topics in Africa. It sounds like the highest degree earned is B.A., and no journal editor experience? I think normally we expect a PhD and some academic journal experience. Also it would be good to have a link to the ""Colonialism and the Continuity of Ilorin Cultural Heritage, 1900-1960", which I wasn't able to find.

    I agree with your comment. I wasn't able to find this applicant's published work list and I am hesitant with professional experience even for applying as an associate editor position. While the applicant has some experience with open access, the activity was sporadic. However, I think it may be beneficial to have additional volunteers to support this journal that deals with the administrative side of things and less reliant on professional and publishing experiences' side of the journal. @Albakry028, in case you didn't see the previous comment, can you provide us with more information?
