Dan Walmsley started working with Ustilago as an outgrowth of a successful project in the Molecular Genetics course.  When that project wound down, Dan became the 2-D gel expert in the lab.  He is looking at differences in protein expression in cells that are exposed to pheromone, compared to cells not stimulated.  He has found some interesting changes in protein expression as a response to pheromone.  His work was been presented at NCUR and at the Sigma Xi Symposium.  Dan received the first Anna K. Hillman Summer Research Internship in 2000, and he has also been supported by the NSF.  Dan started medical school at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic medicine in the fall of 2001.
