Could extinction possibly become extinct?
Maximizing Research Opportunities
What if there were a way to predict when a species was about to become extinct—in time to do something about it?
We’re all ears
Maximizing Research Opportunities
The National Science Foundation has awarded $5 million to a team of researchers led by a University of Georgia plant scientist to further studies that can lead to improved varieties of corn as well as techniques that could treat human diseases, such as cancer.
Coping and adapting may be keys to long life
Maximizing Research Opportunities
University of Georgia research has provided new clues on surviving to be 100 years old, finding that how we feel about ourselves and our ability to adapt to an accumulation of challenging life experiences…
Slowing the pace of cancer
Maximizing Research Opportunities
New University of Georgia research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has found that blocking the action of an enzyme called GnT-V significantly delays the onset and spread of tumors in mice with cancer very similar to many cases of human breast cancer.
Hatching a sustainable program
Building the New Learning Environment (Learn)
The University of Georgia has received more than $440,000 as part of a collaborative research, outreach and education program aimed at encouraging sustainable poultry production in the West African country of Mali.
Migrating towards better health
Maximizing Research Opportunities
It’s a common assumption that animal migration, like human travel across the globe, can transport pathogens long distances, in some cases increasing disease risks to humans.
