UCI researchers spotlight links and propose investigation into molecular underpinnings

Selma Masri and her lab team explore the links between cancer and our internal timekeeper

Selma Masri, assistant professor of biological chemistry in the UCI School of Medicine, has won the prestigious 2022 Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D Scholars Award for Science. The awards program honors one scholar in each STEM2D discipline: science, technology, engineering, math, manufacturing and design. The six diverse, international female recipients were selected out of a competitive […]

Findings reveal possible role for peripheral organs in substance use disorders

Body parts respond to day and night independently from brain, studies show

First-ever ‘atlas’ of circadian metabolism shows how disruptions may lead to disease

Physiology & biophysics professor Todd Holmes has received a five-year, $2.1 million Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to study how insects process short-wavelength light in the ultraviolet-through-blue spectral range. This work builds on research from the Holmes lab published over the past few years in Science, Nature and […]
