 Robertson Research Fund
Since 1973, the Robertson Research Fund has supported Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's scientific program. Its balance is now almost $80 million, up from approximately $8 million in 1973. Once again this year, Robertson funds supported labs in each of our primary fields of research--cancer, neurobiology, and plant genetics.
In 1998, Robertson funds supported cancer research by providing start-up support for new bioinformatics investigators Andy Neuwald, Andy Reiner, and Lincoln Stein and research program support for established scientists David Helfman, Michael Hengartner, Nouria Hernandez, Tatsuya Hirano, Scott Lowe, Ryuji Kobayashi, Adrian Krainer, Jacek Skowronski, David Spector, Nick Tonks, and Rui Ming Xu. In neurobiology, the fund supported research in the labs of Karel Svoboda, Holly Cline, Grisha Enikolopov, Alcino Silva, Jerry Yin, and Yi Zhong, and furthered plant research by Erich Grotewold, Hong Ma, Rob Martienssen, and David Jackson.
The Robertson Research Fund also helps to support many postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and scientific seminars.
In addition, the Marie H. Robertson Memorial Fund, dedicated to neuroscience, gave support to Grisha Enikolopov and Yi Zhong.
