Laboratory research or pathogenesis of disease can focus on one of several disciplinary areas, including cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, pathology, physiology, toxicology, radiobiology, aerosol science, or mathematics modeling, depending on interests and qualifications. Participants must be US citizens or permanent resident aliens. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Molecular Biology and Immunology A novel group of genes termed RGSs that are involved in regulating signal transduction through G-protein linked receptors are being studied. Several of these genes are expressed at high levels in lymphoid cells. Emphasis is upon characterizing the various family members, understanding the mechanism by which the family members impair G-protein signaling, and targeted disruption of various family members in mice.
