R14 JOSEPHINE BAY F CENTER FOR MOLECULAR E OGY AND EVOLUTION DIRECTOR Mitchell Sogin SENIOR SCIENTISTS Stephen Hajduk Monica Riley ASSISTANT SCIENTISTS Michael Cuirtmings Robert Sabatmi Jennifer Wernegreen. Ocean-dwelling ancantnanan, Linda Amaral Zettler The underlying theme of the Josephine Bay Paul Center is to explore the evolution and interaction of genomes of diverse organisms that play signifi- cant roles in environmental biology and human health. This dynamic research program integrates the powerful tools of genome science, molecular phylogenetics, and molecular ecology to advance our understanding of how living organisms are related to each other, to provide the tools to quantify and assess biodiversity, and to identify genes and underlying mechanisms of biomedical importance. Three interlocking programs define the scope of research in the Bay Paul Center. They are the Program in Global Infectious Diseases, the Program in Molecular Evolution, and the Program in Molecular Microbial Diversity. This past year has marked significant growth in the Bay Paul Center. We attracted Mat Meselson's molecular evolution program to the MBL. Meselson is an esteemed member of the National Academy of Science and in collabo- ration with David Mark Welch and Jessica Mark Welch, he has established a molecular evolution group in the Bay Paul Center that explores genome evolution in asexual rotifers. A generous award by the Ellison Medical Foundation allowed us to move forward with a dramatically expanded program in Global Infectious Diseases. This grant provided support for a major renovation that accommo- dates 24 scientists and visitors to the Bay Paul Center. Dr. Steve Hajduk is the director of this new initiative and has brought six graduate and post doctoral fellows to the MBL. His research emphasizes the post transcriptional processing of RNA in African trypanosomes, the cause of human sleeping sickness.
