Paul M. Macdonald Field: Biology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1990
Research Interests
esearch in my lab addresses the basic question of how the overall body plan is established early in animal development. Localization of mRNAs that encode key patterning proteins is often involved in this process, and we are trying to understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for both localization and regulation of these mRNAs.

Janice E. Reutt-Robey Field: Chemistry
Packard Fellowship award year: 1990
Research Interests
xperimental research on chemical dynamics at interfaces, with an emphasis on structure-dynamics relationships. Measurements on vicinal surfaces of the configurations of steps on the surface, their dynamical response to chemical absorption, and their role in promoting surface chemistry. Surface transport processes, including tracer diffusion, self diffusion, and chemical diffusion, are probed with a powerful array of ultrahigh vacuum experimental methods, including surface vibrational spectroscopy, and molecular beam methods. A new venue of experimental research is the structural dynamics at liquid-solid interfaces. We are currently developing chemical force microscopy, a modified form of atomic force microscopy that utilizes chemically functionalized tips, as a near-atomic resolution probe of polymer-liquid and other chemically complex interfaces.

Elizabeth J. Robertson Field: Biology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1990
Research Interests
ur overall goal is to understand cell-cell interactions that mediate the establishment of the early body plan of the mammalian embryo. Many of these studies use pluripotential embryonic stem cells (ES cells) in conjunction with gene targeting techniques to study functional relationship(s) between TGFB-related growth factors and their cognate receptors. To facilitate cell lineage and cell fate analysis, cell-marking systems are being developed.

Gregory A. Voth Field: Chemistry
Packard Fellowship award year: 1990
Research Interests
ur research involves fundamental theoretical studies of the dynamics of complex, condensed matter systems. A primary goal of this research is the formulation of predictive mathematical theories to characterize important condensed phase dynamical problems. Such theories are then tested, where possible, by a comparison to experimental results and through computer simulation. A second and equally important goal is to develop new theoretical methods which allow one to maximize the potential of the computer as a research tool. The latter methods are developed, for example, to probe complex phenomena such as quantum dynamical motion in condensed phase or biological environments through computer simulation.
