Cross-disciplinary researchers will explore applications in regenerative medicine

A multidisciplinary team of UCI professors has received a $1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation to develop new molecular tools to identify ribonucleic acids essential in learning and memory formation. “Our project involves building luminescent RNA molecules, allowing us to observe their position and activity in the brain of a living, learning mouse,” […]

Two UCI researchers have received a $1 million grant from the prestigious W.M. Keck Foundation to develop new technologies to study the dynamic properties of key RNA modifications. The grant goes to principal investigator Robert Spitale, assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences, and co-investigator John Chaput, professor of pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry and molecular biology & biochemistry.

The W.M. Keck Foundation has awarded $2 million to UC Irvine to develop a photonic “magnetic nanoprobe,” a microscope able to amplify, detect and possibly manipulate the extremely weak optical-frequency magnetic fields in matter.

UC Irvine has received $2 million from the prestigious W.M. Keck Foundation to advance research in chemistry and microbiology.

The W.M. Keck Foundation has granted $1 million to UC Irvine to build a campus laboratory in which researchers can explore the potential of using the deep ocean’s low-temperature and high-pressure conditions to generate carbon-free power from methane hydrates.

The electrical engineer and computer scientist will lead a project to develop new equipment for the analysis of messenger ribonucleic acid levels in space and time within a living cell.

The funds will be used to develop a nanoscale imaging microscope capable of observing single-cell migration in vivo, which could provide new insight into how cancer cells metastasize in humans.

Astronomers analyze masses, orbital properties and atmospheric features of six exoplanets

The work could help improve California’s wildfire management efforts
