Next generation of science stars: 5 female scientists receive 2006 LOral USA fellowships

  • Dr. Anne Carpenter, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Sabatini Laboratory, Cambridge, Massachusetts cell & computational biologist, undertaking a systematic study of cell growth using an open source, cell image analysis software she co-developed called Cell Profiler (www.cellprofiler.org). At the interface between biology, computer programming and automated microscopy, Dr. Carpenter's research project aims to complete the identification and characterization of genes controlling cell growth, in the hopes of detecting which genes cause diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's.
  • Dr. Anne McNeil, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, Massachusetts organic and polymer chemist, currrently focusing on the synthesis of water-soluble conjugated polymers quenched by trytophan-containing cationic proteins. Dr. McNeil's research project will investigate a new approach to improve the sensitivity, selectivity and versatility of fluorescent polymer-based chemo- and biosensors. More specifically, she will explore a novel sensing scheme based on the analyte-triggered release of a "masked" quencher proximate to the fluorescent polymer. She hopes to integrate this method into a biosensor platform for the early diagnosis of diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's).
  • Dr. Stacy Philpott Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC conservation biologist and ecologist, studying the conservation potential of coffee certification programs in Chiapas, Mexico and Sumatra, Indonesia. Dr. Philpott's research project will focus on the effects of hurricanes and other ecological damage on coffee agroecosystems in the Soconusco region of Chiapas, Mexico, to inform conservation management decisions for long-term sustainability.
  • Dr. Michelle Povinelli Stanford University, Stanford, California optics and photonics engineer, considered to be one of the most outst
