NEBRASKA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。内布拉斯加州卫斯理大学有四位INBRE合伙人：Garry Duncan， Jeffrey Isaacson， Angela Mckinney Williams和Jodi Ryder。前三位是传染病主题组的成员，而Ryter博士是细胞信号主题组的成员。Ryter博士还被邀请成为内布拉斯加州林肯大学内布拉斯加州氧化还原生物学中心的成员。去年夏天，邓肯博士参加了在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校举行的美国国家科学基金会肖托夸生物信息学会议。Drs。2005年4月，瑞特、邓肯和艾萨克森在内布拉斯加州科学院对这项研究做了口头报告。内布拉斯加州卫斯理大学目前有7位活跃的INBRE学者：Ashlee Muller， Cristina Schroder, Erin Hughes, Jeffrey Zeckser, John Eisenhart， Andrea Eigenberg和Katie Deminski。这7人都参加了UNL或卫斯理大学的研究活动。所有7人都参加了双月会议，讨论研究论文，参与者进行口头研究报告。杰夫、安德里亚和凯蒂都将在五月毕业。杰夫和凯蒂计划在第二年申请医学院，而安德里亚还没有决定。Ashlee Muller计划今年夏天在Charles Wood博士的实验室工作，而Cristina Schroder计划今年夏天在James Van Etten博士的实验室和Duncan博士一起工作。艾琳·休斯打算和艾萨克森博士一起在卫斯理大学工作吗？今年夏天我将去美国的校园。2005年4月，除了约翰·艾森哈特，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 Eigenberg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BRIN剩余的资金，我们翻新了我们的细胞培养室，将我们旧的生物安全柜和二氧化碳罩搬到一个专门的细胞培养室，以及我们新的生物安全柜、二氧化碳罩和倒置显微镜，这些都是用BRIN的资金购买的。我们还购买了一台徕卡MZAPO立体显微镜，更新和翻新的细胞培养室已经被艾萨克森博士和艾琳·休斯在他们的inbrer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-威廉姆斯医生也将使用这里。

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.
