GRANT SUCCESSES FOR GEE
14 May 2010
Summary of recent successes
30 March 2011
Warmest congratulations go to Dr Anjali Goswami who with her colleague Dr Paul Upchurch (Dept of Earth Sciences) were awarded £157,799 in a Leverhulme Trust Research Grant to support a 3-year project entitled ‘Testing the Relationships between Latitude and Biodiversity in the Cretaceous’. For this project, they will be appointing a postdoctoral researcher (see Job vacancies page)
Warmest congratulations also go to Prof Andres Ruiz-Linares who has been awarded a BBSRC grant BB/I021213/1 for 'The genetics of human physical appearance'. (The value will be announced shortly).

3 March 2011
Congratulations go to Dr Nick Lane who, as Principal Organizer, submitted a proposal to The Royal Society (Hooke Committee) entitled "Energy transduction and genome function - an evolutionary synthesis" to form part of the Society's 2012 scentific discussion meeting programme in London. Dr Lane receives this support along with his co-organizers Professor John F Allen, Professor John A Raven FRS and Professor William Martin.
The two day meeting will be held 12-13 November 2012, followed by a Satellite Meeting provisionally on 14-15 November 2012.

July 2010
Congratulations go to Dr Anjali Goswami (UCL GEE and Earth Sciences) and Dr Christophe
Soligo (UCL Anthropology) who were awarded
£393,099 by NERC for their project 'Morphological clocks – Quantifying
module- and lineage-specific variation in rates of morphological
evolution in
the primate skull'.
18 May 2010
In a joint application Dr Paola Oliveri was awarded of 337,500 USD (~= £229,713 ) by the Human Frontier Science Program for Characterization of light-dependent rhythmic processes in the marine environment.
In December 2009, she was awarded by the UCL CIF funding for The nCounter Analysis System: a New Powerful and Versatile Digital RNA Quantifier for Biomedical Research. The nCounter machine (Nanostring) just arrived here at UCL and soon a service page will be set up.
31 March 2010
Prof Max Telford receives BBSRC award for £592,597 for Molecular developmental analyses of animal larval development: searching for deep homology and from The Leverhulme Trust £178,177 to
undertake research into the convergence or homology of larvae and
guts in
animal evolution.
Prof Andres Ruiz-Linares was awarded £122,000 by The Leverhulme Trust to
develop a network for the evolution of Latin American populations.
In a joint application, Prof Jürg Bähler
was awarded £231,003 by The Wellcome Trust for The Fission Yeast Database PomBase.
