“During the past cycle, following consultation with our internal and external advisory boards, organizational governance structure and the leadership of NCRR, we have focused our efforts on two overarching themes - Translational Therapeutics and Bridging the Pediatric to Adult Divide, taking advantage of resources particular to our institutions,” says the project information abstract on the University of Pennsylvania’s latest $9.1 million Institutional Clinical and Translational Science Award. “We have fostered interdisciplinary and translational research by a series of "top down" and "bottom up" funding initiatives.”

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center recently received $6.7 million from the NIH this year. On the NIH website, the project leader is listed as Henry Shelton Earp, MD, a professor in the Department of Medicine and the Director of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. According to the UNC Chapel Hill webpage, Dr. Earp’s lab is focused on how signals from membrane receptors are transduced to nucleus altering cell shape, proliferation, differentiation and gene expression. The NIH RePORTER provides more information on the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center in Dr. Earp’s funding request abstract:

Researchers at Emory University received $5.1 million in life science research funding from the NIH this past June. The title of the project receiving funding is “B-Cell Biology of Mucosal Immune Protection from SIV Challenge,” and the project leader is Eric Hunter, PhD. Dr. Hunter’s area of expertise is HIV/AIDS. According to the Emory University webpage, his research focuses on understanding virus-cell interactions, how independently targeted capsid and glycoprotein molecules are brought to the assembly site, what pathways are used, and what roles cell- and virus- encoded gene products assume while this is going on.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham is a thriving research environment that lab suppliers can take full advantage of. Biotechnology Calendar Inc.’s 13^th Annual Bioresearch Product Faire™ at UAB on November 14^th, 2013 is a tremendous opportunity to increase a company’s sales and brand exposure, as well as network with lead researchers at this well-funded university.

A great deal of life science funding was awarded to Duke University on June 14^th, 2013 when the NIH gave researchers $13.8 million to study the induction of protective B-cell responses to HIV-1. The study’s project leader, Barton Haynes, is Director of the Human Vaccine Institute in the Department of Medicine. According to the Duke University website, Dr. Haynes’s laboratory is interested in researching host innate and adaptive immune responses to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis (TB), and influenza so that they can understand better ways to make preventive vaccines against these three infectious diseases.
