The research awards cover your housing and lab space costs, and you have the opportunity to use all of the NXR frog lines. The deadline is fast approaching (<span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT222_com_zimbra_date" style="color: #336699; cursor: pointer;" data-mce-style="color: #336699; cursor: pointer;"><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT229_com_zimbra_date" style="cursor: pointer;" data-mce-style="cursor: pointer;">December 15</span></span>, 2016).

The summer is an exciting time at the MBL and you have the opportunity to interact with a number of different investigators from around the world. In addition, the MBL is now offering fellowships for more junior investigators. So if you’d like to come and do some X. laevis or X. tropicalis work, use the various transgenic lines or create some mutant lines then take advantage of this opportunity.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;" data-mce-style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;" data-mce-style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"> Please visit the webpage for more details about the application, and contact me if you are interested in applying. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;" data-mce-style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0px;" data-mce-style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;" data-mce-style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">marko</span></p></div><div><br></div><div><span name="x"></span><div><div><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>****************************************************************</strong></span></div><div><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>If the NXR contributed to your work please cite us in your papers.</em></strong></span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>Cite us in the acknowledgements: National Xenopus Resource RRID:SCR_013731</em></strong></span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>Cite us in your references: Pearl, E. et al "Development of Xenopus resource centers: the National Xenopus Resource and the European Xenopus Resource Center" Genesis 50, 155-163</em></strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em><br></em></strong></span></span><div><br></div></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 12pt;">-------------------------------------------------------------</span></div>Marko Horb, Ph.D.<br>Director, National Xenopus Resource (NXR)<br>Marine Biological Laboratory<br>7 MBL Street<br>Woods Hole, MA 02543<br></div><div><br></div><div>Email: xenopus@mbl.edu<br>Office: 508-289-7627<br>Cell: 508-564-3764<br></div><div><br></div><div>http://www.mbl.edu/xenopus<br>https://twitter.com/xenopusnxr</div><span name="x"></span><br></div></div></body></html>
