Lenore Fahrig, PhD, is Chancellor’s Professor of Biology and Gray Merriam Chair in Landscape Ecology at Carleton University, Canada. She earned her BSc in Biology from Queen’s University, her MSc from ...

My current research topics are in the fields of econometrics and economic theory, specifically, the economics of aging, savings behavior, demographic trends, housing mobility, dynamics of health and ...

The structure and function of ion channels with emphasis on K+ channels is the subject of my research. These integral membrane proteins mediate the passive flow of K+ ions across cell membranes, ...

Yoshihiro Kawaoka heads the Influenza Research Institute of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is Professor of the Institute of Medical Science of the University of Tokyo. Dr. Kawaoka is a ...

Throughout my career I have studied split-brain and other types of neurologic patients, in an effort to understand both the functional lateralization in the human brain and how the cerebral ...

My principal research area is theoretical plasma physics applied to fusion energy. The central problem of magnetic fusion research is determining the rate of escape of thermal energy from a fully ...

Throughout my scientific career I have--in addition to a few digressions--been engaged in the study of the ecology and physiology of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms and their role in aquatic ...

GERALD SCHUBERT (NAS) is a professor emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Department of Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences. Dr. Schubert?s research interests center on ...

I have studied the mechanisms whereby proteins are translocated across biological membranes. This study has led us to isolate the "preprotein translocase" from E. coli. It consists of a multisubunit, ...

Germ cells are the stem cells for the next generation. Set-aside during embryogenesis from the somatic cells that form the body of the organism, germ cells, through the fusion of sperm and egg, ...

Rhizobium-legume symbiosis was always in the focus of my research interest. First by its importance in the combined nitrogen-pool of the Earth through nitrogen fixation but mostly because of the ...

I have had a life-long interest in endocrine physiology, with particular emphasis on parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its role in normal and pathophysiological calcium and bone metabolism. The ...
