9553176 Saha This Presidential Faculty Fellow award is to a young neurobiologist. Her research is on basic issues concerning the mechanism by which the brain develops from a simple sheet of cells into a highly complex structure. The role of several genes in mediating tissue interactions are studied, using the frog Xenopus as a model system, with the major focus on reciprocal interactions between the nerve tissue and the blood vascular system during early embryonic development. Her teaching includes neurobiology courses and courses to non-majors on the history of biology, an active outreach program to elementary and middle schools, and summer courses to high school teachers and gifted high school teachers. The impact of both the research and education will be high and extend beyond neurobiology to science education in general.

9553176萨哈这个校长奖是颁给一位年轻的神经生物学家。她的研究是关于大脑从一个简单的细胞片发展成一个高度复杂结构的机制的基本问题。本文以非洲爪蟾为模型系统，研究了几种基因在组织相互作用中的作用，重点研究了胚胎早期发育过程中神经组织和血管系统之间的相互作用。她的教学内容包括神经生物学课程和针对非专业学生的生物史课程、针对小学和初中的积极推广项目、针对高中教师和天才高中教师的暑期课程。研究和教育的影响将是巨大的，并将从神经生物学扩展到一般的科学教育。
