这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 内布拉斯加州卫斯理大学有四名INBRE合伙人：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小组的成员，而赖特博士是细胞信号主题小组的成员。赖特博士还受邀成为内布拉斯加大学林肯分校内布拉斯加州氧化还原生物学中心的成员。今年夏天，邓肯博士参加了德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校生物信息学的NSF Chautauqua。2005年4月，赖特、邓肯和艾萨克森博士在内布拉斯加州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：阿什莉·穆勒、克里斯蒂娜·施罗德、艾琳·休斯、杰弗里·泽克瑟、约翰·艾森哈特、安德里亚·艾根伯格和凯蒂·德明斯基。所有7人都曾在联合国大学或卫斯理大学校园参加过某种程度的研究活动。所有7个国家都参加了每两个月举行一次的会议，会上讨论了研究论文，与会者作了口头研究报告。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。阿什莉·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与邓肯博士在詹姆斯·范·埃顿博士的实验室工作。艾琳·休斯计划今年夏天与艾萨克森博士在卫斯理大学S分校合作。2005年4月，除了约翰·艾森哈特之外，所有人都在内布拉斯加州科学院做了口头报告。此外，五名INBRE学生，Ashlee Muller、Cristina Schroder、Jeffrey Zeckser、Andrea Egenberg和Katie Deminski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：利用剩余的Brin资金，我们翻新了我们的细胞培养室，将我们的旧生物安全柜和二氧化碳罩移到一个专用的细胞培养室，以及我们的新生物安全柜、CO2罩和倒置显微镜，所有这些都是用Brin资金购买的。我们还购买了徕卡MZAPO立体显微镜，更新和翻新的细胞培养室已经被Isaacson博士和Erin Hughes博士在INBRE资助的研究项目中使用。此外，该设施还被用于向微生物学和免疫学课程的学生讲授细胞培养原理。麦金尼-威廉姆斯博士也将使用这一设施。

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.
