Brigid L. M. Hogan FRS is a British developmental biologist noted for her contributions to stem cell research and transgenic technology and techniques. She is the George Barth Geller Professor of Research in Molecular Biology and Chair of the Department of Cell Biology at Duke University,〔http://www.cellbio.duke.edu/brigid-l-m-hogan/ Duke University Faculty Page〕 as well as the director of the Duke Stem Cell Program.〔http://www.dukemedicine.org/Leadership/Administration/CellBiology〕 Hogan earned her PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge and did postdoctoral work in the Department of Biology at MIT. She was the head of the Laboratory of Molecular Embryology at the National Institute for Medical Research in London, and later Hortense B. Ingram Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and the founding director of the Stem Cell and Organogenesis Program at Vanderbilt University.〔("Scientist At Work: Brigid Hogan; In the Ethics Storm on Human Embryo Research" ), ''The New York Times'', Nicholas Wade, September 28, 1999.〕 Her work on transgenic mice has led her to teach the Molecular Embryology of the Mouse course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and edit the first two editions of ''Manipulating the Mouse Embryo: A Laboratory Manual'', considered the "Bible" of mammalian embryo manipulation techniques. She has served as President of the American Society for Developmental Biology and the American Society for Cell Biology. She was the fourth scientist from Vanderbilt University Medical Center to be elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science.〔http://news.vanderbilt.edu/archived-news/register/articles/index-id=5638.html VUMC scientist elected AAAS Fellow〕 She has been a member of the National Advisory Council of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Co-Chair for Science of the 1994 NIH Human Embryo Research Panel and a member of the 2001/2002 National Academies Panel on Scientific and Medical Aspects of Human Cloning. She was awarded the sixth International Society for Transgenic Technologies Prize in 2008 for “outstanding contributions to the field of transgene technologies”.〔http://transtechsociety.org/blog/?p=20 ISTT Prize awarded to Brigid Hogan〕 She delivered a 2011 Martin Rodbell Lecture, hosted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.〔http://www.niehs.nih.gov/news/newsletter/2011/june/science-hogan/ Upcoming Rodbell lecturer Brigid Hogan〕 ==Early life== Hogan was born in High Wycombe, a small town near London. Both of her parents were artists.〔 As a child she faced the difficulties of post-World War II Britain. Her father, a stage designer, died in 1945 shortly after coming back from the front lines. Her single mother, a dressmaker, raised her and her sibling. She was a support and inspiration to Hogan. The village Hogan grew up in was close to nature and fostered her love for biology. Her rational scientific thinking helped her cope with her uncertain home life. She has been an atheist since she was a child. She attended an all-girls’ high school, where her biology teacher mentored her as she applied to Cambridge University. She was admitted to Newnham College, Cambridge’s all-women’s college, where she faced negative attitudes from male faculty due to her gender, typical of the time. She still treasures her experiences there. Peter Holland, her student, became well-known for his work on the evolution of the vertebrate head.〔http://www.ascb.org/files/profiles/brigid_hogan.pdf American Society for Cell Biology Member Profile〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brigid Hogan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
