Professor Geoffrey Abbott discusses the molecular mechanism behind some botanical folk medicines

UCI School of Medicine researcher Geoff Abbott, professor of physiology & biophysics, is the recipient of a $2 million Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (R35 grant) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and a $1.7 million R01 grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The five-year grants help enable studies focused […]

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 […]
