VERMONT INBRE: BACCALAUREATE PARTNER INSTITUTION CORE

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 卡斯尔顿州立学院(CSC)2009-2010年亮点 在健康和医学方面，学院正处于重建年。劳拉·卡尔森曾在2009年春季获得多个VGN奖项，之后离开她去了另一所大学工作。贾斯汀·卡尔斯特罗姆受聘接替她。他还没有做可以通过佛蒙特州遗传学网络资助的研究，但希望明年启动一个研究计划。 2009年秋天，我们还聘请了一位新的遗传学家。黛博拉·阿隆吉的兴趣包括分子进化遗传学和基因组学。她对生物信息学很了解，也很感兴趣，尤其是作为21世纪生物学教育的门户。我们预计她将利用VGN赠款提供的机会。黛博拉将获得VGN飞行员奖，等待VGN的续签。 2010年春，我们聘请了一位新的微生物学家。普雷斯顿·加西亚的兴趣包括与微生物学和免疫学有关的一切。普雷斯顿的具体计划给遴选委员会留下了深刻的印象，他将继续在这里的学院进行研究。他很兴奋地听到有机会在实验室里将蛋白质组学用于他的课程作业以及他与学生的研究。如果VGN拨款续期，我们将鼓励普雷斯顿明年申请飞行员奖项。 2010年春天，我们寻找了一位新的药剂师。遴选委员会使用的一个标准是，是否有兴趣维持一个涉及本科生的研究项目。我们没有成功，但明年将继续搜索。 最后，在2010年春天，我们聘请了一名候选人，参加在体育系举办的一项新的健康教师队伍。凯蒂·库尔波对营养和肥胖有研究兴趣。她也将被鼓励考虑申请VGN奖。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Castleton State College (CSC) Highlights 2009-2010 In health and medical sciences, the College is in a rebuilding year. Lara Carlson who received several VGN awards left following spring 2009 to take a position at another college. Justin Carlstrom was hired to replace her. He is not yet doing research that can be funded through the Vermont Genetics Network, but is hoping to launch a research program next year. In fall 2009, we also hired a new geneticist. Deborah Alonghi's interests include molecular evolutionary genetics and genomics. She is knowledgeable about, and interested in bioinformatics, particularly as a portal to 21st Century Biology Education. We expect that she will take advantage of the opportunities offered by the VGN grant. Deborah will have a VGN pilot award pending VGN's renewal. In spring 2010, we hired a new microbiologist. Preston Garcia's interests include everything relating to microbiology and immunology. Preston impressed the search committee with his concrete plans to continue research here, at the college. He was excited to hear about the opportunities to use proteomics in laboratories for his course work as well as his research with students. If the VGN grant is renewed, we will encourage Preston to apply for a pilot award next year. In spring 2010, we searched for a new chemist. One criterion the search committee used was interest in maintaining a research program that involves undergraduates. We were unsuccessful, but will renew the search next year. Finally, in spring 2010, we hired a candidate for a new faculty line in health, hosted in the Physical Education Department. Katy Culpo has research interests in nutrition and obesity. She, too, will be encouraged to consider applying for a VGN award.
