Stice
At age 39, Steven Stice—one of UGA's Eminent Scholars—has
already made international headlines as a pioneer in
the super-hot field of animal cloning. Stice’s
research has focused on producing transgenic animals--animals
with genetically altered or manipulated cells--to produce
pharmaceutical proteins or for cell and organ transplant
therapy.
Michael
Pierce
A University of Georgia researcher's discovery of an
enzyme implicated in cancer may lead to a revolutionary
new breed of treatments aimed at preventing the spread
of cancer. Michael Pierce, professor of biochemistry
and molecular biology, is searching for an inhibitor
of this enzyme – an injectable substance that
would bind to the enzyme and prevent or slow the migration
of cancer cells.
Jim
Porter
A team of scientific investigators, led by James Porter,
professor of ecology and marine sciences at UGA, are
pursuing the killers of the most diverse ecosystem on
Earth: the coral that once packed Florida's reefs.
