About Dr. Burks
I started my career in research as a research assistant in Max D. Summers’ laboratory studying protein trafficking in baculovirus infected cells. I immediately gravitated to the microscope and I purchased a Zeiss CARV Nipkow spinning disk confocal with Dr. Summers’ funds and was hooked on the world of imaging. This lead to imaging courses and ultimately to my return to graduate school in his laboratory over perusing veterinary medicine. During my PhD training, I was learning to operate a shared resource as Dr. Summers placed me in charge of the confocal scope. I trained every user and developed imaging assays. Ultimately, I ended up identifying Importin-alpha-16, a shuttling protein involved in moving integral membrane proteins through the lateral channel of the nuclear pore complex. This was due to my imaging experiments with BV/ODV E26, which was identified as a viral homolog to this cellular protein.
After completing my PhD, I joined Xing Li Wang’s group at Baylor, where I continued to study viral protein trafficking in infected cells, this time in Cytomegalovirus. This laboratory taught me how to interact with people from other cultures and how to collaborate on a larger scale. However, my PhD and post-Doctoral positions were both quite challenging as both faced specific issues where I was correcting inadvertent mistakes made by others due to technical limitations. This resulted in extensive problem solving to determine where the technical errors were made and in figuring out how to correct them. I found I enjoyed this type of technical research and that I was not able to perform as much imaging as I had wanted.
Therefore, I sought out a position in a shared resource with imaging equipment. Back in my element, I have flourished and am now an Associate Professor and Co-Director of the facility. I have brought eight color imaging to the institution using FFPE samples and multispectral microscopy. I have also introduced and established Mass Cytometry (imaging and suspension), CyTOFs, to MDACC. The latest iteration of mass cytometry technology, which is imaging based is still in development. It uses laser ablation to free material from the slide for analysis through the CyTOF. My other focus is the deficiency in live cell spinning disk confocal imaging. The institution’s fellow researchers have been approaching me for some time to devise and perform these types of imaging experiments. I am also focusing efforts on spatial distribution of cells in tissues and organoids. My strengths lie in being the independent observer that is technically trained to identify, adapt, and utilize technology to answer critical questions that user’s pose. We tackle these problems and we jointly develop solutions when researchers come to the Flow Cytometry and Cellular Imaging Core Facility at MD Anderson.
