Planning Visit: Analysis of Normal and Genetically Mutant Visual System Development Using Multi-Dimensional Time Lapse Microscopy

INT 9605205 Pollock John A.Pollock：“计划访问：使用多维时间推移显微镜分析正常和基因突变的视觉系统发展”该奖项支持卡内基梅隆大学生物科学系的John A.Pollock博士对澳大利亚墨尔本大学遗传学系的Philip Batterham博士的计划访问。他们将建立一个合作，专注于果蝇黑腹果蝇视觉系统发育的分子遗传学和发育神经生物学。这个国际项目是一项跨学科研究，利用了两个同行的特殊优势，他们的研究利用了遗传学、分子生物学、显微成像和计算机科学。这次为期两周的计划访问将允许美国同行根据需要与澳大利亚合作伙伴进行磋商，为该项目的国际化创建具体的实验设计和时间表。来自美国和美国的合作伙伴交流将扩大美国国家科学基金会资助的匹兹堡卡内基梅隆大学光学显微镜成像和生物技术中心正在进行的生物研究的影响。

INT 9605205 Pollock John A. Pollock: "Planning Visit: Analysis of Normal and Genetically Mutant Visual system Development using Multi Dimensional Time Lapse Microscopy" This award supports a planning visit of Dr. John A. Pollock of the Department of Biological Sciences, Carnegie Mellon University to Dr. Philip Batterham of the Department of Genetics, University of Melbourne, Australia. They will establish a collaboration focused on the molecular genetics and developmental neurobiology of the developing visual system in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. This international project is an interdisciplinary study that capitalizes on particular strengths of the two counterparts whose research utilizes genetics, molecular biology, microscopic imaging and computer science. The two week planning visit will permit the U.S. counterpart to consult with the Australian partner, as needed to create the specific experimental design and time table for the internationalization of the project. Partner exchange both from the United States and to the United States will broaden the impact of the NSF supported biological research ongoing in the Center for Light Microscope Imaging and Biotechnology at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
