JAX Professor Gridley awarded nearly $2 million NIH grant
JAX® NOTES Issue 513, Spring 2009
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development awarded Professor Thomas Gridley, Ph.D., a five-year grant of $1,848,750 to study how the Snail superfamily of genes (a group of genes that are active in the very first stages of life) influences early mammalian embryonic development. Dr. Gridley will determine the target genes regulated by Snail superfamily genes during early mouse development, and will study the roles of these genes during skeletal muscle development and physiology. His research will lead to a better understanding of early human development and may be relevant to the pathology of skeletal muscle disease.
