The
Sullivan Lab is a member of Duke University's Department
for Molecular Genetics and Microbiology (MGM).
The primary goal of MGM is to understand the genetic basis
for bacterial and viral pathogenesis, the genetic
variation in humans that affect their susceptibility to disease,
and genome organization and stability. |
|
The Sullivan Lab is actively involved in Duke's UPGG
(University Program in Genetics and Genomics),
a graduate program that serves as an important forum for
training and education in genetics. |
|
The March
of Dimes provides funding for several
projects in the Sullivan Lab. With this partnership, we
strive to improve the health of babies by preventing birth
defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. |
|
NIGMS
(National Institute for General Medical Sciences) supports
basic biomedical research that increases understanding
of life processes and lays the foundation for advances
in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. NIGMS,
one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
provides
funding for several projects in the Sullivan Lab. |
|
ASHG
(American Society of Human Genetics),
the primary professional membership organization for human
geneticists in the Americas, exists to promote research
and educate the public about genetics. |
|
Founded in 1931, GSA
(Genetics Society of America) promotes
the communication of advances in genetics through publication
of the journal GENETICS, and by sponsoring scientific meetings. |
|
Researchers in the Sullivan Lab participate in Gordon
Research Conferences, an international
forum for presentation and discussion of frontier research
in biological, chemical and physical sciences and related
technologies. |
|
FlyBase is
a database of genetic and molecular data for Drosophila (the
fruit fly). Flybase is produced by a consortium of researchers
funded by the National Institutes of Health (U.S.A.), and the
Medical Research Council (London). |
|
NCBI
(National Center for Biotechnology Information) is
a national resource for molecular biology information.
NCBI provides resources, such as public databases and
software tools for analyzing genome data, to promote
the understanding of molecular processes affecting human
health and disease. |
|
PubMed is
a useful web source for accessing life science journals, biomedical
articles and related resources from the 1950's to the present. |
|
Fluorescent imaging of fixed and live cells is a key component
of research in the Sullivan Lab. Applied
Precision provides a patented, fully integrated
microscope system, the DeltaVision RT, to meet our imaging demands. |
|
In the Sullivan Lab, we label DNA, RNA, and proteins with fluorescent
reagents provided by Molecular
Probes technology. |
