FAW: Genetic and Molecular Studies in Chlamydomonas

杜彻博士的研究计划有两个主要目标。 一是 功能、形态发生和遗传的研究 中心粒/基体和第二，调节的研究， 氨基酸代谢 单细胞真核绿色细菌， 莱茵衣藻被用作模型系统。 在 衣原体是可能的分析细胞过程， 遗传、生物化学、细胞学和分子技术。 的 一种方法是分离破坏感兴趣的过程的突变 并使用一系列方法研究突变表型， 了解这个过程。 该提案实现了一汽的目标，即：1）认识到 杰出和有前途的女科学家和工程师， 研究和教学的学术生涯，2）促进 职业生涯的进一步发展 **

Dr. Dutcher's research program has two primary aims. First, the study of the function, morphogenesis, and inheritance of centrioles/basal bodies and second, the study of the regulation of amino acid metabolism. The unicellular, eukaryotic green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is being used as a model system. In Chlamydomonas it is possible to analyze cellular processes using genetic, biochemical, cytological and molecular techniques. The approach is to isolate mutations that disrupt a process of interest and to study the mutant phenotypes using a barrage of methods to gain an understanding of the process. This proposal fulfills the FAW objectives which are 1) to recognize outstanding and promising women scientists and engineers in academic careers of research and teaching and 2) to facilitate the further development of their careers.***//
