Identification and Characterization of Developmentally- Important Genes in Ilyanassa obsoleta

这是一个职业发展奖，以支持博士。 休假访问克里斯·多伊博士的实验室 University of Illinois. 兰德博士打算学习现代 分子生物学技术，以便将其应用于她 涉及细胞命运特化的实验系统， 腹足类软体动物的发育过程。 这些新技术的获得，以及 将它们应用到已经被 富有成效，预计将大大提高她的职业生涯。

This is a Career Advancement Award to support Dr. Render's sabbatical visit to the laboratory of Dr. Chris Doe at the University of Illinois. Dr. Render intends to learn modern molecular biology techniques, in order to apply them to her experimental system involving cell fate specification during development of a gastropod mollusc. The acquisition of these new techniques, and the opportunity to apply them to the experimental system which has already been fruitful, is anticipated to significantly enhance her career.
