Developmental and chemically-induced changes in gene expression and neuronal growth are also being studied in the surf clam. Spisu/a sulidissima.

Postdoctoral Fellow Steele, Marjorie, Research Assistant Barker, Colin, Laboratory Technician Visiting Scientist Barker, Lewellys, Senior Associate Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health Student Smith, Cynthia, Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine Laboratory of Cell Communication Established in 1994. this laboratory is devoted to the study of intercellular communication. The research focuses on the cell-to-cell channel, a membrane channel built into the junctions between cells. This channel provides one of the most basic forms of intercellular communication in organs and tissues. The work is aimed at the molecular physiology of this channel, in particular, at the mechanisms that regulate the communication. Electrophysiological-, fluorescent- tracer-, and molecular biological techniques are used to this end. As was recently
