Wyoming INBRE awards two UW- Wyoming Community College Collaborative Grants

Wyoming INBRE has awarded two UW- Wyoming Community College Collaborative Grants. Ami Wangeline (Laramie County Community College), Bill Murdock and Franco Basile (UW) are receiving funding for their project Identification and analysis of bioactive substances from selenophilic fungi antagonistic against cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Steve McAllister (Central Wyoming College) and Naomi Ward are receiving funds for their project Functional significance of the microbiome in Hirschsprung’s enterocolitis. The goal of the program is to support research projects that engage University and Wyoming Community College researchers and students in projects with the potential to produce publishable results and develop into fundable programs at NIH and other federal agencies. The project should engage undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs at UW and the community college in the collaboration and facilitate the development of undergraduates into independent researchers. It should also help undergraduates identify and pursue pathways to the baccalaureate degree and graduate training in the biomedical sciences.

Soft Ray Looks to Save Lives by Developing Rapid, Low-Cost System for Detection of Bacteria in Blood Platelets

Paul E. Johnson envisions the day when most citizens can have their blood platelets checked quickly for bacteria at a low cost. And he has created the technology that he believes can make a difference in eventually saving lives. <more>

Wyoming INBRE Requests Proposals for Bioinformatics Supplement Grants

To stimulate research utilizing bioinformatics approaches Wyoming INBRE is seeking applications from INBRE-supported investigators (and others in the University of Wyoming biomedical research community) for high-throughput molecular projects that would utilize the INBRE Bioinformatics Core and/or independent computational biology/ chemistry/ modeling projects. This is intended as a supplemental grant to enhance or augment currently funded research projects. Selected applications will receive up to $5000 of supplementary funding to support research that would extend the original specific aims of the research project with the goal of enhancing the novelty and competitiveness of the work. <see RFP>
