Redox
Biology Center Pilot grant 2009 awardees The Nebraska Redox Biology Center (RBC), funded by a Center for Biomedical Research Excellence grant from the NIH, invites applications for its pilot grant competition from faculty engaged in research in the area of redox biology. The primary objective of this program is to stimulate research in the area of redox biology and to enhance competitiveness in obtaining extramural support. The Nebraska Redox Biology Center (RBC) received 13 pilot proposals this year and has awarded pilot funding to two proposals received – one to Dr. Keshore Bidasee, with the Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience Department at UNMC for his proposal entitled “Reactive Carbonyl Species and Cerebral Microvascular Diseases” and one to Dr. Gregor Grass, with the School of Biological Science at UNL for his proposal entitled “Mode of Action of Redox-active Copper Surfaces Against Microbes”. Congratulations to our new awardees!! The pilot grant competition for 2009 has been closed. |
