2004 Albert and Ellen Grass Faculty Grant Program
Nine investigators have been awarded Grass Faculty Awards at the MBL this summer. The goal of this 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.
Helmut J. Koester, Ph.D., an instructor in the Division of Neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX and Jackie Schiller, Ph. D. an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the Technion Medical School, Haifa, Israel, will collaborate on a project titled "Active dendritic integration in cortical sensory processing in vivo."
Jasmina N. Jovanovic, Ph.D. a lecturer and group leader in the Department of Pharmacology, The School of Pharmacy at the University of London, London, UK, and Sabine Hilfiker, Ph.D. a Ramon y Cajal Fellow and group leader at the Instituto de Parasitologia y Biomedicina ‘Lopez-Neyra’, Granada, Spain, will collaborate on a project titled “Dissecting the roles of protein phosphorylation in vesicle trafficking and secretion.”
Stefan Heller, Ph.D. an Assistant Professor in the Department of Otology and Laryngology at Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA; Huawei Li, Ph.D. a Professor in the Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary at Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA; and Jeffrey Corwin, Ph.D. a Professor in the Departments of Neuroscience and Otolaryngology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Charlottesville, VA, will collaborate on a project titled “Quiescent stem cells in the mouse utricle.”
William N. Green, Ph.D. an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurobiology, Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Chicago, Illinois and John Marshall, Ph.D. an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology, Physiology and Biotechnology at Brown University, Providence, RI, will return to the MBL this summer to continue their collaborative project titled “Targeting and trafficking of glutamate receptors by PDZ domain proteins.”
