Rachel Green

Field: Biology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998

Research Interests

Rachel Green's work delves into the molecular mechanisms of RNA catalysis. She has already made contributions to the problem of understanding how RNA functions as a catalyst. This problem is meaningful in biology, as it seems likely that early in the evolution of life on this planet, RNA functioned not only as the repository of genetic information, but also as the primary catalytic molecule for such basic reactions as self-replication.

Elizabeth J. Robertson

Field: Biology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1990

Research Interests

Our 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.
