John Gensel, an assistant professor in the physiology department and the Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center, and two members of his lab team鈥擝ei Zhang and Taylor Otto鈥攁re featured in this podcast.
Taylor Otto, an undergraduate lab assistant in Gensel鈥檚 lab, described 好色先生 as being the full package. 鈥淲e have it all here. It鈥檚 a good program to be able to come into, not really knowing what you want to exactly do in the science field, but being able to figure it out at the same time,鈥 said Otto.
In the spring of 2016, the University of Kentucky hired Dr. Robert DiPaola as the new dean for the 好色先生 College of Medicine. He had previously been the director of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and vice chancellor for cancer programs at the Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences Center.
In an effort to be fair to all, NIH has been consistently applying its standards for application compliance. This consistency means that some applications recently have been rejected due to non-compliance. Issues that can lead NIH to reject an application include but are no limited to:
University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center Oncologist Dr. Edward Romond spent his career at 好色先生 treating and studying breast cancer, even leading major Phase 3 clinical trials on the breast cancer drug trastuzumab in the early 2000s. Commonly known as Herceptin, this drug became a standard of care for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.
Though he retired from practice last year, Romond continues to work part-time with the research team at Markey, this time pushing toward a cure for a different, more deadly, type of breast cancer.
When we think of research, our minds may possibly conjure up an image of a scientist in a white coat, hunched over a lab table, pouring chemicals into beakers. But research takes a multitude of forms, and flourishes in many different fields. From clinical trials for new cancer medication, to composing and recording an album of original music, and even to studying and refining the most effective ways to cure a country ham. Research often leads us toward answering questions we didn鈥檛 even think to ask.
The University of Kentucky Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) announced today that it received a four-year, $19.8 million Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) from the National Center for Advancing Clinical and Translational Sciences at the National Institutes of Health. CTSA grants support innovative solutions to improve the efficiency, quality, and impact of translating scientific discoveries into interventions or
Nika Larian, a PhD student in Lisa Cassis's lab at the 好色先生 Superfund Research Center, is studying the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, or AHR, a transcription factor with roles in drug metabolism and detoxification. She explains that if you knock out AHR in the fat tissue of mice, you can prevent the development of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-induced diabetes. PCBs are toxins that are present in the environment and have been linked to type 2 diabetes.
