N&B Program News and Commentary |
8/4/2009Today's Wall Street Journal features work done in the labs of N&B faculty members David Raible and Ed Rubel. This research concerns the use of the sensory hair cells of the zebrafish as a model system to study hair cell regeneration, and as a screening method to identify drugs and genes that influence hair cell survival and regeneration. N&B graduate student Julie Harris contributed importantly to the establishment of this exciting experimental model. 7/15/2009The Washington Research Foundation has pledged to make grants to the Neurobiology & Behavior Program of $10,000 per year for the next two years. This money will support the new 'Jump Start' program that aims to introduce the incoming first year N&B graduate students to the wide range of experimental methods employed by neurobiologists. The Program is extremely grateful to the WRF for recognizing the importance of the Neurobiology & Behavior graduate program to the University of Washington and to the state of Washington. 7/1/2009
