Achievement Notes

Dr. Theresa J. Grove and Dr. Timothy J. Fort

Dr. Theresa J. Grove, Principal Investigator and Assistant Professor, Biology Department, and Dr. Timothy J. Fort, Assistant Professor, Biology Department, were recently awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation. In their research project, "Thermal Adaptation of Killifish: The Role of Calsequestrin in Glycolytic Skeletal Muscle," they propose to characterize the structure and function of the calcium binding protein calsequestrin (CSQ) from the fast twitch muscle of teleost fish in the family Fundulidae that are adapted to different environments, and to characterize the muscle mechanics of white muscle from these fish and determine the importance of CSQ.
