Botanical extract shows promise as an alternative to drug therapy

RNA-based method advances personalized medicine for improved patient care

UCI professor advocates easier access to medication-assisted treatment – and eradicating the social stigma

Team-based model in pharmacy and medicine delivers cost-effective, personalized patient care

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 “We showed that a saliva sample withdrawn using a simple microbiological loop can be directly analyzed in a single collection tube, using common and precise DNA amplification […]
