About Virginia's Research & Interests:
Among her many interests concerning theatre history, Virginia researches international theater of the AIDS epidemic. Over the summer of 2005 she researched this topic in China and has been honored to share her findings at conferences for the American Society for Theatre Research and the Hawaii International Conference for the Humanities.

 Michelle TangrediAbout Michelle's Research & Interests: I am interested in the internal circadian clocks that drive rhythmic behavior in animals in synchrony with diurnal environmental cues such as light. This rhythm is dependent upon the molecular oscillations of several central clock proteins in the brain that are tightly controlled by biochemical feedback loops. The mechanistic and molecular features of circadian clocks are highly conserved between mammals and Drosophila, making the fruit fly a powerful model system in which to elucidate the molecular mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms. I use the fruit fly as a model to investigate the regulatory mechanisms affecting the timing of the central clock |
