2005 Albert and Ellen Grass Faculty Grant Program
Eight 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.
Mark Warchol, Ph.D. an associate professor in the Department of Otolaryngology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Stefan Heller, Ph.D. an assistant professor in the Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary at Harvard Medical School are doing research entitled “Identification and isolation of stem cells from the vertebrate inner ear”.
Richard Kramer, Ph.D. is an associate professor in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley and Sonia Gasparini, Ph.D. an assistant professor in the Neuroscience Center at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, are doing research entitled “Remote photic control of dendritic excitability with light-activated ion channels”.
William N. Green, Ph.D. an associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology, Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Chicago and John Marshall, Ph.D. an associate professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology, Physiology and Biotechnology at Brown University in Providence are continuing their research entitled “Targeting and trafficking of glutamate receptors by PDZ domain proteins”.
Leonardo Belluscio, Ph.D. an investigator with the National Institutes of Health and Rory McQuiston, Ph.D. an assistant professor in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond are doing a research project entitled “Odorant activation of juxtaglomerular neurons in the mammalian olfactory bulb: Contributions to olfactory sensory processing”.
