Her lab studies two major components, neurons in the central nervous system and neural crest cells, a fundamental cell type that forms all of our sensory neurons and a variety of other cell types.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer early pioneering work was focused on understanding motor neuron development in vertebrates using the zebrafish model and understanding neural crest development. Eisen was cited in the section on biological sciences for \u2018seminal research elucidating aspects of the specification and patterning of neurons and neural crest cells in zebrafish.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018I love making new discoveries and I think every scientist will tell you that we are a bunch of people driven by our curiosity,\u2019 Eisen said. \u2018Finding out those answers and moving on to the next piece of that puzzle is what drives me, but I\u2019m no different from other scientists, that\u2019s what drives us all.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 20, 2018\u2014CSWS faculty affiliate Judith Eisen is among six University of Oregon professors named as fellows by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, among 390 other newly elected members.
