Happy to announce that the Özpolat lab has been awarded a seed grant by The Microbiome Center to look into the role of microbiome in segmented worm regeneration. We will collaborate with Jessica Mark Welch (MBL) and A. Murat Eren (UChicago) on this project.
Özpolat Lab Receives an NSF-EDGE Grant
We have some great news! Alexa Bely (University of Maryland), Elaine Seaver (Whitney Labs) and B. Duygu Özpolat (MBL) have been awarded an NSF EDGE grant to develop functional approaches for studying regeneration in annelids. We have a webpage and a Twitter account.
We will be running workshops so follow us on Twitter and through our website to get updates. We also plan on sharing progress without waiting for publications, so we hope this project will benefit more than just our 3 labs.
Finally, we have two research technician jobs available (one at UMD, Maryland with Alexa Bely; the other at Whitney Labs, Florida with Elaine Seaver. We are an awesome team, come join!
