Visiting Professor
We
are fortunate that Karen has chosen to spend sabattical leave with us
from Norwich University. Karen is studying novel regualtory
mechanisms of the Src family of tyrosine kinases, whose diverse
regulatory roles continue to amaze ever since the initial
identification of c-src as the proto-oncogenic counterpart of the
transforming agent in Peyton Rous' sarcoma virus.
Graduate students
Bior Bior
Bior
is studying Reelin/Disabled-1 signaling, focusing on protein:protein
intreactions involving the Crk/CrkL family of adaptors.
Marion Weir
Marion
is studying the Collapsin Response Mediator Proteins and their roles in
signaling mechanisms regulating mammalian brain development. She also
is assisting
investigators with proteomics projects in UVM's Immunobiology COBRE.
Federico Lopez Osorio
Federico
is studying phylogenetics and systematics with particular emphasis
on the the wasp subfamily Vespinae. Federico uses molecular (DNA and
proteins), morphological and behavioral characters to study these wasps
and their social structures. This project is an NSF-funded
collaboration with Dr. Kurt Pickett and Dr. Jim Carpenter.
Undergraduate students
Aliya Lapp--UVM Plant Biology Major. Aliya is studying the cooperative signaling
mechanisms of Src family tyrosine kinases and the adaptor proteins Crk
and CrkL.
Peter Doubleday--UVM Biology Major. Peter is using quantitative phosphoproteomic methods to study mammalian brain development.
Ryan Joy--Johnson State Biology Major. Ryan is using quantitative phosphoproteomic methods to study mammalian brain development.
Miranda Redmond--UVM
Political Science Major (Biology Minor). Miranda is studying the cooperative signaling
mechanisms of Src family tyrosine kinases and the adaptor proteins Crk
and CrkL.
Rachel Brooks--UVM '11 Biology Major. Rachel is part of an interdisciplinary collaboration with Nick Gotelli and Aaron Ellison studying mechanisms of ecology using the Northern Pitcher Plant as a model ecosystem.
Team "AGC Kinases"
This
group is using pharmacological tools and quantitative mass spectrometry
to study the activation mechanisms of AGC Kinases (related to Protein
Kinases A, G and C) who play important roles in cell proliferation,
growth, survival and differntiation.
Kate Schlosser--UVM Biochemistry Major.
Nick Thompson--UVM Biology Major.
Elizabeth Caron--UVM Biology Major.
Collin Love--UVM Biology Major.
