A heavy burden: A weight pill?
Maximizing Research Opportunities
Possibly, UGA researchers say. Clifton Baile and his colleagues at the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences have been exploring the potential of certain plant-based compounds as aids to weight loss.
Seeing things in a different light
Maximizing Research Opportunities
University of Georgia researchers have developed a new material that emits a long-lasting, near-infrared glow—potentially revolutionizing medical diagnostics and providing a foundation for highly effective solar cells.
Small Wonders
Maximizing Research Opportunities
For decades, scientists have wondered whether tiny structures known as Hirano bodies found in the brains of people with diseases such as Alzheimer’s were one of the causes or consequences of the disorder. Now, a University of Georgia cellular biologist and his colleagues have found evidence…
What is under threat?
Maximizing Research Opportunities
According to Shan Huang, a Ph.D. student at the UGA Odum School of Ecology, the effects of extinction impact more than just the endangered species.
Facing a wildlife crisis
Maximizing Research Opportunities
“White-nose syndrome” is spreading through states and devastating colonies of bats from Canada to North Carolina. A federal-state cooperative housed in UGA’s College of Veterinary Medicine is part of team trying to determine the cause and solution.
Shaping two futures
Maximizing Research Opportunities
Chuck Mobley and Adam Barb, postdoctoral scholars in UGA’s Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, have two missions. The first is to shape their own research future. The second will help shape the future of postdoctoral scholars across UGA.
