Physiology & biophysics professor co-writes book on how membranes, their proteins work

Stephen H. White, a professor of physiology & biophysics in the UCI School of Medicine since 1973, has co-authored a book that he calls the culmination of his career. Cell Boundaries (Garland Science, 2021) was 13 years in the making and describes how membranes and their proteins work. White and his collaborators, Gunnar von Heijne, […]

UCI awarded grant to study sex-specific brain pathway responses to stress

UCI has been awarded a five-year, $3.5 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to study the sex-specific differences in circuits that connect the brain’s stress and reward centers. Building on the earlier discovery of how brain circuit operation is disrupted by exposure to early-life adversity, researchers will study the emergence of gender as […]
