LMCA Research Fund Award
 James
Mohler was recently awarded a stipend of $5,000 to pursue his research at
Tulane University. His project is entitled "Potential of Retrovirouses
as Genetic Vectors of Mosquito Transformation." A retrovirus is an RNA virus
that is replicated in a host cell via the enzyme reverse transcriptase to
produce DNA from its RNA genome. If James's laboratory-based study is
successful, it could lead to the development of new tools for fighting
mosquito transmitted pathogens and for controlling mosquitoes.
