48 researchlaboratory of norman wainwrightThe mission of this laboratory isto understand the molecular defensemechanisms exhibited by marineinvertebrates in response to invasionby bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Theirprimitive immune systems demonstrateunique and powerful strategies forsurvival in diverse marine environments.The key model has been the horseshoecrab, Limulus polyphemus. Limulushemocytes exhibit a very sensitive LPStriggeredprotease cascade that resultsin blood coagulation. Several proteinsfound in the hemocyte and hemolymphdisplay microbial binding propertiesthat contribute to antimicrobialdefense. Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL)is being adapted for use as a tool toassess bioburden on spacecraft and tosearch for microbial life in the universe.Collaborations with several NASA centersare actively developing technology in thefield of astrobiology.SENIOR SCIENTISTNorman WainwrightRESEARCH ASSISTANTSAlice ChildKendra WilliamsVISITING INVESTIGATORDan Burbank
education 49educationThe MBL’s renowned educational programs attract students and faculty from aroundthe world. In 2005, 482 students from 319 institutions and 32 countries came to the MBLto study cutting-edge biology with the world’s best scientists as faulty and lecturers. Ourcourses’ 809 faculty members, staff, and lecturers represented 213 institutions and 16countries.Our recruitment efforts and applicant pools remained strong, and admissions remainedhighly competitive. We were especially proud this year to be recognized by the MinoritiesAffairs Committee of the American Society for Cell Biology for twenty years of partnershipin developing and training minority scientists at the MBL.In other news, the MBL welcomed Mary Mullins to our facultyrosters this year, who joined Cecilia Moens as co-Directorof “Neural Development & Genetics of Zebrafish,” making itthe first MBL course directed exclusively by women. This year,we said farewell to Jay Bangs, who stepped down as the Directorof the Parasitology Course. His tireless efforts, enthusiasm, andvigor in this role were most infective. Patricia Johnson of UCLAco-directed in 2005, and will continue at the helm. Additionally,a paper “Length Control of the Metaphase Spindle” publishedin Current Biology Vol.15. 1979-88 (2005) lists 4 of the 5 authorsas being from “Physiology Course 2004, Marine BiologicalLaboratory.” The project originated in the course.MBL courses also received significant funding from generous donors. In particular,the Microbial Diversity Course would like to acknowledge the support of The Gordon& Betty Moore Foundation. And the Physiology and Molecular Mycology Coursesgratefully acknowledge the Burroughs Wellcome Fund for their investment in basicscience, especially areas of significant scientific importance that remain overlooked andunderfunded by traditional funding sources.
