| 1998-99 | Tzipora Goldkorn (Associate Adjunct Professor: Internal Medicine - Pulmonary Division) developed an animal model to investigate signal transduction pathways induced by autoimmune antibodies. |
| 1999-00 | Alan Jassby (Researcher Ecologist: Environmental Science and Policy) along with a Humphrey Fellow from Burma (Myanmar), Myint Su, conducted a conservation-oriented review of the status of Inle Lake, the largest lake in Burma. They made a field trip to the lake, interviewed many locals, gathered all the technical literature they could find, and wrote a review paper that appeared in a UN-sponsored professional journal (Myint-Su and A. Jassby, Inle: A large Myanmar lake in transition, Lakes & Reservoirs: Research and Management 5:49-54 [2000]). |
| 1999-00 | Andrei Zalensky (Assistant Research Biochemist: Biological Chemistry) investigated the molecular characterization of telomeres in marine invertebrates at the University of Victoria, B.C. |
