Bioinformatics, Mathematical Biology, and Computational Biology at NIH: Building Bridges to Discovery

NIH is an enormous institution, or rather collection of institutions, which funds nearly $30 Billion dollars of biomedical research annually on behalf of Congress and the US taxpayers. Many of its long-standing customs and traditions can seem impenetrable to those who are not already entrenched, particularly when it comes to winning funding for research that features mathematical and computational approaches to biological problems. This talk will present a broad picture of research at NIH in these areas, along with current funding opportunities and strategies for finding the right niche for your research proposals within NIH.
Flyer with more information is posted on the 7th floor bulletin board

Chemistry Professor Allan Butterfield Awarded NIH Chair

University of Kentucky chemistry professor Allan Butterfield's work in neurochemistry and Alzheimer's research is renowned.

 

But Butterfield's work goes beyond the lab; his support of undergraduate and graduate research at UK is celebrated throughout campus and the Commonwealth, with every research grant and doctoral diploma awarded.

Butterfield served as UK alumnus Tanea Reed's PhD advisor during graduate school.

Greek Fort Findings on Exhibit

An exhibition on the results of the excavations by University of Kentucky faculty of an ancient Greek fort will debut at the Lexington Public Library - Central Library before moving to Italy, where it will remain on permanent display.
