FAW: Dorsal-Ventral Pattern of the Drosophila Embryo

安德森博士是果蝇模式形成的分子遗传学领域的主要研究人员。她的工作重点是背部基因复活节和托尔的作用。问题是Toll蛋白是否是一种受体，Toll的配体和效应物是什么。该奖项是国家科学基金会颁发给女科学家和女工程师的教师奖。该建议实现了一汽的目标，即：1，在研究和教学的学术生涯中表彰优秀和有前途的女科学家和工程师；2，促进她们事业的进一步发展。

Dr. Anderson is a leading investigator in the area of molecular genetics of pattern formation in Drosophila. Her work focuses on the role of the dorsal group genes, Easter and Toll. The question addressed is whether the Toll protein is a receptor, and what the ligand and effector for Toll are. This award is a National Science Foundation Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers. The 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.
