The Institute of Molecular Biology at the University of Oregon is an interdisciplinary research community, founded in 1959, dedicated to investigating biological questions at the molecular level. Our collaborative and interactive Institute brings together--from the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics -- scientists using diverse approaches and state-of-the-art facilities. This rich research environment provides exceptional training opportunities for young scientists.
Dorsal surface of an isolated stage 16 Drosophila CNS. Elav protein is expressed in all neurons (red), Even-skipped protein is observed in a subset of medial neurons (blue, co-expression with Elav makes purple), and Prospero protein is detected in the longitudinal glia (green) and a subset of lateral cells (co-expression with Elav makes yellow).
