Irradiation Effects
Studied by Keller
Edward C. Keller. Jr, a re
search fellow of the National
Heart Institute, is now studying
the eftecls of inadiation on in
heritance and the nature of the
genes causing these effects.
The reseat ch pi oject is sup
ported by the National Institute
of Health under a $4,600 grant.
The work was started in 1955
with wild strains of the fruit
fly collected in the State College
aiea under the direction of Dr.
D. F. Mitchell, now on the fac
ulty of the Umveisity of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles.
Keller said the fruit fly is an
organism used frequently for
studies of inheiitance because of
its rapid rate of reproduction and
ease of handling in the labora
tory.
