POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS
Gary Ott,
an NIH postdoctoral fellow,
is developing experimental techniques
for analyzing the heterogeneity of the major classes of plasma lipoproteins
and the microheterogeneity of proteins.
These techniques, together with
other procedures, will be used to analyze variants,
Pathological among selected human subjects.
Stephen Macevicz,
an NIH postdoctoral fellow,
either genetic or
is developing experimental
and mathematical techniques for the flow cytometric study of the effect
of cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) on cell cycle traverse.
Experimental
studies will be carried out in vitro and in vivo on Lewis lung tumor cells.
He will adapt an existing model of cell cycle traverse to account for the
time dependent cell cycle perturbations produced by a pulse of ara-C.
Mason Shen,
an NIH postdoctoral fellow,
is collaborating on characterization
of lipoprotein subfractions that are being used in studies on their modulating
effects on immune functions.
He is also participating in studies on the
effects of diet on lipoprotein properties and function.
SUMMER INSTITUTE - A program to bring faculty from minority colleges and
universities to the laboratory for eight weeks of training and research.
Bessie Foster, (Grambling State University) worked on antinucleoside
stains of tumor cells.
Jerry L. Johnson,
(University of Hawaii, Hilo) worked on environmental
impact studies at the geysers.
Altaf Rahman,
(South Carolina State University) worked on developing new
fluorescent tags for cytoenzymological techniques.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS
COOP - is a program sponsored by the Office of Equal Opportunity for
college students in science and engineering majors wherein. they work
for six months full-time and are in school for six months.
Participants
in our laboratories include:

OJT - (On-the-Job-Training) is to provide laboratory-relevant work
experience to individuals who are economically disadvantaged and have
few or no marketable skills for non-professional LLL positions.
