FAW: Dorsal-Ventral Pattern of the Drosophila Embryo

安德森博士是果蝇模式形成分子遗传学领域的主要研究者。她的工作重点是背侧组基因的作用，复活节和托尔。研究的问题是Toll蛋白是否是一种受体，以及Toll的配体和效应体是什么。该奖项是美国国家科学基金会颁发给女性科学家和工程师的教师奖。该方案实现了一汽的目标，即：一是表彰在研究和教学学术生涯中杰出和有前途的女科学家和工程师；二是促进她们的职业发展。

Dr. Anderson is a leading investigator in the area of molecular genetics of pattern formation in Drosophila. Her work focuses on the role of the dorsal group genes, Easter and Toll. The question addressed is whether the Toll protein is a receptor, and what the ligand and effector for Toll are. This award is a National Science Foundation Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers. The proposal fulfills the FAW objectives, which are: 1, to recognize outstanding and promising women scientists and engineers in academic careers of research and teaching and 2, to facilitate the further development of their careers.
