Previous research (1999-2006, Berlin and Riverside) was funded by the Volkswagenstiftung (Nachwuchsgruppenprogramm), the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the BMBF, and the Human Frontiers Science Program. Additional funding came from the University of California, Riverside, and from the Freie Universität Berlin. Interdisciplinary activities were funded by the Junge Akademie.Individual grants included:
Volkswagenstiftung Nachwuchsgruppe I/75, January 1999 – October 2005
Study the coding of odors in the antennal lobes of Drosophila, by first developing a suitable activity reporter and physiological approach, and then investigate odor-responses at the network level. Independent Research Group Grant (comparable to an Assistant Professorship).
Role: PI (Galizia)
Human Frontiers Science Program, Young Investigators Grant, August 2001 – July 2005
A comprehensive analysis of the olfactory code in honeybees, combining behavioral, physiological and computational approaches to studying the processing of odor mixtures.
Joint research with Prof. Martin Giurfa (Toulouse, France) and Prof. Christiane Linster (Cornell, USA). Initially for 3 years, this grant has been extended for one year to 7/31/2005.
Role: PI (Galizia)
NIH-NIDCD RO1 DC00666O, April 2005 – March 2010
Complete olfactory receptor repertoire of a model animal.
In this study, genetics, optical imaging, robotics and neuroinformatics are combined in the quest of characterizing the olfactory response profiles of ultimately all olfactory sensory neurons in Drosophila. The grant was funded for research at the University of California, Riverside. Given that I already knew that I would be moving back to Germany, the grant could not be realized.
Role: PI (Galizia)
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, SFB 515, January 2002 – December 2004
Study the changes in odor representations in the honeybee brain following associative learning, and investigate the role of spatial activity patterns using spatially controlled release of caged substances.
Role: PI (Galizia)
Bundesministerium für Forschung und Technologie, March 2001 – February 2003
Create a physiological atlas of glomerular response profiles, including automated tools to efficiently process optophysiological data in large screens.
Role: PI (Galizia)
