NEBRASKA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 内布拉斯加卫斯理大学有四个INBRE协会：加里邓肯，杰弗里艾萨克森，安吉拉麦金尼威廉姆斯，和乔迪莱德。 前三位是传染病主题组的成员，而Ryter博士是细胞信号主题组的成员。 Ryter博士还被邀请成为内布拉斯加大学林肯分校内布拉斯加氧化还原生物学中心的成员。 去年夏天，邓肯博士参加了德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的生物信息学NSF肖托夸。 2005年4月，Ryter博士、邓肯博士和艾萨克森博士在内布拉斯加科学院口头介绍了这项研究。 内布拉斯加州卫斯理大学目前有7名活跃的INBRE学者：Ashlee Muller，Cristina Schroder，Erin Hughes，Jeffrey Zeckser，John Eisenhart，Andrea Eigenberg和Katie Deminski。 所有7人都参加了UNL或卫斯理大学校园内的某种程度的研究活动。 所有7人都参加了双月会议，讨论研究论文，并作口头研究报告。 杰夫、安德里亚和凯蒂都将于5月毕业。 杰夫和凯蒂计划第二年申请医学院，而安德里亚还没有决定。 阿什利·穆勒计划今年夏天在查尔斯·伍德博士的实验室工作，而克里斯蒂娜·施罗德计划今年夏天在詹姆斯·货车·埃滕博士的实验室与邓肯博士一起工作。 艾琳·休斯打算和艾萨克森博士一起研究卫斯理大学今年夏天的校园。 2005年4月，除了约翰·埃拉特，所有人都在内布拉斯加科学院做了口头报告。 此外，五名INBRE学生，阿什利·穆勒，克里斯蒂娜·施罗德，杰弗里·泽克瑟，安德烈·艾根伯格和凯蒂·德明斯基，将出席2005年5月1日在圣克拉拉大学举行的西海岸本科生生物学研究会议。 基础设施改善：利用BRIN的剩余资金，我们对我们的细胞培养室进行了翻新，将我们旧的生物安全柜和CO2罩以及我们新的生物安全柜、CO2罩和倒置显微镜（全部都是用BRIN资金购买的）沿着搬进了一个专用的细胞培养室。 我们还购买了一台Leica MZAPO立体显微镜。Isaacson博士和Erin Hughes博士已经在他们的INBRE-funded研究项目中使用了经过更新和翻新的细胞培养室。 此外，该设施已被用于向微生物学和免疫学课程的学生教授细胞培养原理。 McKinney-Williams博士也将使用该设施。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Nebraska Wesleyan University has four INBRE Associates: Garry Duncan, Jeffrey Isaacson, Angela Mckinney Williams, and Jodi Ryder. The former three are members of the Infectious Disease theme group, while Dr. Ryter is a member of the Cell Signaling theme group. Dr. Ryter was also invited to become a member of the Nebraska Redox Biology Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Dr. Duncan attended an NSF Chautauqua on bioinformatics at the University of Texas-Austin this past summer. Drs. Ryter, Duncan and Isaacson gave oral presentations of the research at the Nebraska Academy of Sciences in April, 2005. Nebraska Wesleyan University currently has 7 active INBRE Scholars: Ashlee Muller, Cristina Schroder, Erin Hughes, Jeffrey Zeckser, John Eisenhart, Andrea Eigenberg, and Katie Deminski. All 7 have participated in some level of research activity at UNL or on campus at Wesleyan. All 7 have participated in bimonthly meetings where research papers are discussed and participants make oral research presentations. Jeff, Andrea and Katie all graduate in May. Jeff and Katie plan to apply to medical school the following year, while Andrea is undecided. Ashlee Muller plans to work in Dr. Charles Wood's lab this summer, while Cristina Schroder plans to work with Dr. Duncan in Dr. James Van Etten's lab this summer. Erin Hughes plans to work with Dr. Isaacson on Wesleyan?s campus this summer. All but John Eisenhart gave oral presentations at the Nebraska Academy of Sciences in April, 2005. In addition, five INBRE students, Ashlee Muller, Cristina Schroder, Jeffrey Zeckser, Andrea Eigenberg, and Katie Deminski, will present at the West Coast Undergraduate Biology Research Conference at Santa Clara University on May 1, 2005. Infrastructure improvement: With remaining BRIN funds, we have renovation of our cell culture room, by moving our old biosafety cabinet and CO2 hood into a dedicated cell culture room, along with our new biosafety cabinet, CO2 hood, and inverted microscope, all purchased with BRIN funds. We also purchased a Leica MZAPO Stereomicroscope The updated and renovated cell culture room has already been used by Dr. Isaacson and Erin Hughes in their INBRE-funded research projects. As well, the facility has been used to teach principles of cell culture to students in Microbiology and Immunology courses. Dr. McKinney-Williams will also use this facility.
