NEW YORK (March 16, 2005) -- As you read this, cells in your eye are transmitting information to your brain, while cells in your heart and arteries work just as hard to keep that brain alive. Every one of these cells -- and others throughout the body -- depends on an internal process called endocytosis to keep the flow of cellular nutrients and information healthy and strong.It's an incredibly important life process, and now researchers at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York City have used an exciting new technology to better understand how one key player -- a protein called clathrin -- helps regulate endocytosis like a well-oiled machine. It may also give us insights into the kinds of disease states that can happen when clathrin-regulated endocytosis goes wrong.
ITHACA, N.Y. -- Judith Surkis, a graduate student in the Department of History at Cornell University, has received a Mary Isabel Sibley Fellowship from Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and most respected academic honorary society. The fellowship was established by a former Cornell graduate student, Isabelle Stone, who received a Ph.D. in Greek history and language in 1908 and named the award in honor of her mother. The fellowship has been given annually since 1939 to women ages 25-35 who hold a doctorate or have fulfilled all requirements for the doctorate except the dissertation. Recipients, who need not be affiliated with Cornell or Phi Beta Kappa, receive a $10,000 stipend to conduct original research in Greece or France.
