Michelle A. Trusgnich
Ms. Trusgnich has a long standing interest in automated sequencing
and oversees the day to day operations of the Cole/Hamvas
laboratory
|
|
|
Daniel J. Wegner
Mr. Wegner oversees genotyping and sequencing in the Cole/Hamvas
laboratory
|

|
Hillary Heins
Ms. Heins oversees biochemical phenotyping of infants neonatal
respiratory distress syndrome.
|

Heather E. Jones
Ms. Jones is a senior undergraduate student at Washington
University. Using automated sequencing of human and primate DNA
samples, computational estimation of haplotypes, and statistical
comparative genomics methods, she identify regions in the
surfactant protein B gene (SFTPB) that are conserved and regions
that are overrepresented in infants with respiratory distress
syndrome.
|
|
|
Christina Nawas
Ms. Nawas is a senior undergraduate student at Washington
University. She is assisting in sequencing of the surfactant
protein B gene in DNA samples from humans to identify genotypes
statistically associated with neonatal respiratory distress
syndrome.
|
|
|
Elizabeth Reed
Ms. Reed is a medical student between her second and third year at
Washington University School of Medicine. This year (2005-2006),
she is pursuing a Master's Degree by using stable isotopically
labeled precursors of protein and phospholipid components of the
pulmonary surfactant to evaluate correlation of metabolic
characteristics of surfactant turnover with genotypes of the
surfactant protein B gene.
