Expert Opinions
Early on in our project, we sought out the shoulders of giants to stand on. We contacted a host of experts in the field of radiation resistance. We foremostly aknowledge Drs Frederick Domann (http://www.uiowa.edu/~frrbp/domann.html) and Matthew Fritzgerald (http://www.uiowa.edu/~frrbp/directory.html) from the University of Iowa who opened our eyes to T. cruzi and then filled our hands with some T. cruzi plasmids to go; Dr. John Battista (http://www.biology.lsu.edu/faculty_listings/fac_pages/jbattista.html) of Wayne State University for teleconferencing us; Dr. Michael Daly (http://www.usuhs.mil/pat/deinococcus/index_20.htm) of Unites Services University of the Health Sciences for collaborating with us on the Deino Genomics; Mr. Stephen Marino (http://www.raraf.org/marino.htm) of Columbia University’s RARAF facility for guiding us in the use of his Particle Radiation Facility.In addition to these professors, we benefited from correspondences with the following radiation biology scientists:
