NIH Continues Support of žžÀ² State Alzheimer’s Researcher With New Two-Year Grant
Once it begins, Alzheimer’s disease progresses systematically and aggressively, attacking victims on multiple fronts. But scientists studying the disease operate the same way – like žžÀ²â€™s own Gemma Casadesus Smith, Ph.D.
žžÀ² State Researcher and Professor Elected to the European Academy of Sciences
One of žžÀ²â€™s most prolific and renowned researchers has been elected to the European Academy of Sciences. Quan Li, Ph.D., Senior Research Fellow in žžÀ² State’s Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute, joins the prestigious Brussels-based organization that has about 660 members from 45 nations, including 65 Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winners.
žžÀ² State Geographer Describes Novel Weather-Typing Model in New Paper
Research into the air masses that drive changes in our day-to-day weather has been limited by land-based and regional studies, leaving wide gaps in our understanding of these impactful phenomena. A new paper by a žžÀ² geographer has just filled in most of those gaps.
NSF Award Helps žžÀ² State Anthropologists Expand International Partnership
The (NSF) recently awarded žžÀ² State a three-year, $298,000 International Research Experience for Students (IRES) grant that will allow graduate students to travel to in Japan to study primates and human evolution at the world-renowned .
žžÀ² State Magazine: Brainstorming
Cross-departmental collaborations are what Michael Lehman, the inaugural director of žžÀ²â€™s Brain Health Research Institute, envisions for the future. His goal is to unite researchers from a wide range of disciplines at žžÀ² State and throughout Northeast Ohio to explore, expand and advance our knowledge of the human brain and how it functions.
žžÀ² State Professor Weighs in on New Research Regarding Burnout
Researchers from the University of Washington and Washington University, along with other collaborators, are seeking answers to those questions. They studied the brains of mice to identify what causes them to stop seeking a reward — in essence, what makes them burn out.
New Methodologies Developed in žžÀ² State Geology Professor's Lab Improve Monitoring of Lakes and Oceans
After years of remote sensing work, Joseph Ortiz, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Geology in the College of Arts and Sciences at žžÀ², and his research team recently shared their development of new cost-efficient methodologies that may lead to much safer drinking water for people in Ohio and other municipalities affected by harmful algal blooms (HAB).
NIH Funds žžÀ² State Psychologist’s Project to Teach Children Food Allergy Safety Skills
A žžÀ² researcher with a background in safety training models — and a very personal motivation — has devised a method to help some children with food allergies stay safe, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) just granted him the funding to test it.
NSF Awards žžÀ² State Researchers $1.3 Million to Nourish Children’s Minds, Fill Their Bellies
Science is complex, and it’s difficult to discuss it with children under the best circumstances; it’s even more difficult when they are hungry. Two žžÀ² researchers may have cooked up a way to solve both of those problems, and the National Science Foundation just awarded them a three-year, $1.3 million grant to determine if their recipe works.
NSF Awards žžÀ² State Researcher Nearly $1 Million for Separate Liquid Crystal Studies
Trustees Research Professor Oleg Lavrentovich, Ph.D., a chemical physicist in žžÀ²â€™s Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute (AMLCI), just received nearly $1 million between two grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for separate studies with potential applications in biomedical science, commercial electronics and beyond.
