Ever since the 1940s, scientists, researchers, and medical professionals alike have been striving to understand why human bodies reject foreign objects, namely transplants. The first research to be done on this topic was by British researcher Peter Medawar during this time period, and for his founding of this scientific field of transplantation biology he received a Nobel Prize.

Researchers at the University of Washington and the University of California, Riverside have received $2 million in the form of a four-year grant from the NIH to identify the 3-D structure of the parasite that causes malaria, Plasmodium's, genome during its erythrocytic cycle. According to News Medical, this cycle takes place over 48 hours and can repeat for a number of days or even weeks in humans.

Lab suppliers interested in marketing life science solutions and university lab equipment at Atlanta life science marketing events may want to take a closer look at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health as a potential sales market. In 2010, the Rollins School of Public Health opened a teaching and research building named for Claudia Nance Rollins.
