UNC Charlotte Biochemist’s Research Holds Promise For Novel Treatments for Cancers and Neurological Diseases, Shaping Global Work On “The Chaperone Code”
For UNC Charlotte biochemist Andrew Truman, a quest for new and better treatments for cancers and neurological diseases drives his research into protein folding and the DNA damage response, along with his desire to advance science broadly. To fund his work, he has received three significant National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants expected to total $2M. “These are real things that affect real people. They are not theoretical,” Truman says.
New Research Could Help Address Threats To Reefs
Corals depend on their symbiotic relationships with the algae that they host. New insights into this important process, in a study by UNC Charlotte’s Tingting Xiang and colleagues, could offer clues to helping reefs survive.
