TSWV Information
Dr. Tom German
As
Paul Flanary (Post-doctoral researcher)
Paul received his Ph.D. from the
He has done post doc's at
He is now working to develop a reverse-genetics system for Maize
Fine Streak Virus (MFSV),
Anna Whitfield (Ph.D. student)
Anna has a Master's degree
from the
for TSWV in ornamentals. She is interested in the role of TSWV proteins
in acquisition by the thrips
vector, Frankliniella occidentalis.
Arne Thompson (Research Specialist)
Arne earned his Bachelor's degree in
Biochemistry here at the UW after working as an hourly in the
lab here for over four years. He is currently working on devising a reverse genetics
system in yeast
for TSWV.
Elisabeth
Wyman (Undergraduate Assistant)
Beth has been with our research group for
almost two years. She is planning
on majoring in biochemistry
and attending medical school here at the
UW after completing her bachelor's degree. She has just
completed an independent research project
involving glycosylation of the TSWV glycoproteins.
Ashley
Bieber (Undergraduate Assistant)
Ashley has been working her for about one
year. She is planning on majoring
in English in a pursuit of
a career as a librarian. She is responsible for almost all of
the general lab maintenance as well as maintaining
our research plant stocks.
Frankliniella occidentalis
The Western Flower Thrips should be included in the list
here. Without their ultimate sacrifice in our lab, we wouldn't
be able to do what we do. Here's to them!

Collaborators, Former Lab Members, and
Other Links
John Sherwood at the University of Georgia
John is a
long-time collaborator of ours. His lab is interested in insect vectors
of TSWV.
Diane Ullman at the University of California
Another
long-time collaborator and Anna's former major professor, Diane is an excellent
electron
microscopist. She and her lab group recently visited our lab and gave us
all a crash course in
insect
physiology.
Mark Kainz at Colgate University
Mark worked
as a post-doc in our lab for a couple of years. He continued the studies
on viral polymerase
activities
started by Scott Adkins, a former Ph.D. student.
Dow
AgroScience
Another of
our former post-docs, Lada Rasochova, worked in our lab and in Paul Ahlquist's
lab
(Molecular Virology) on brome mosaic virus. She is
continuing this and related work at Dow.
