Albert and Ellen Grass Faculty Grant Program
Four investigators have been awarded the first Grass Faculty Awards at the MBL this summer. The goal of this new Program is to take advantage of the collaborative environment of the MBL and bring together neuroscientists at the Assistant or Associate Professor level from different institutions to work together to conduct specific research in neuroscience.
Joseph D. Buxbaum, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neurobiology, Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Neuropsychiatry, and Director of Molecular Genetics at the Seaver Center for Autism Research, all at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, New York and Vincent A. Pieribone, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Neurobiology and Cellular and Molecular Physiology at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut and Assistant Fellow at the John B. Pierce Laboratory, New Haven, Connecticut. Together they will investigate “The role of the Alzheimer’s amyloid protein precursor (APP) in vesicle transport in axons.”
William N. Green, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Department of Neurobiology, Pharmacology & Physiology, at the University of Chicago, Illinois, and John Marshall, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biotechnology at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Together they will study “Target and trafficking of glutamate receptors by PDZ domain receptors.”
