Three questions with professor of pharmaceutical sciences John Chaput, who discusses using synthetic genetics in drug discovery

High-Risk, High-Reward grants will support biomedical research projects

Study uncovers key insights into little-understood phenomenon

UCI researchers have originated a simplified, faster clinical sample testing method to detect genetic material, including viral RNA. Their findings were recently published in the journal Scientific Reports. “We showed that a saliva sample withdrawn using a simple microbiological loop can be directly analyzed in a single collection tube, using common and precise DNA amplification […]
