CRF's
Largest Poster Session Yet
Thanks to an overwhelming response to our Call for Posters, the Central
Research Forum mounted its largest poster session yet with 62 posters
from Wright State investigators. Follow this link for a complete list
of poster titles, presenters and coauthors.
Writing
Effective Animal Use Protocols
Three veterans of Wright State's Laboratory Animal Care and Use Committee
(LACUC) offer strategies for writing effective animal use protocols that
will save time for both investigators and reviewers.
Gift
Supports Research
A bequest totaling more than $850,000 will support the basic science research
of Lawrence J. Prochaska, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry and molecular
biology at Wright State. Dr. Prochaska's research examines how oxygen
is utilized to conserve energy at the molecular level in mitochondria
and how programmed cell death may be triggered by the loss of energy.

Genomics Center Steven J. Berberich, Ph.D. (right), has been appointed director of the Center for Genomics Research (CGR), the newest research center of excellence at Wright State University School of Medicine. CGR provides support and core facilities for basic and clinical research in gene expression, flow cytometry, and genotyping. |

2004
Genomics Seed Grants
A $500,000 gift from the Kettering Fund supported a second round of internal
seed grants that will assist faculty to incorporate gene expression profiling
in their research. Applications were peer-reviewed by the SOM Research
Committee. Four projects were selected for support, which includes materials
(e.g. GeneChips or TaqMan probes) and technical assistance from the Center
for Genomics Research (CGR).
OMV-SfN
Neuroscience Day - May 25
The 2004 Ohio Miami Valley Neuroscience Day will be held Tuesday, May
25, at the University of Cincinnati's Genome Research Institute (GRI).
OMV-SfN received a Grass Lectureship from the Society for Neuroscience
to bring Bruce
S. McEwen, Ph.D., to Cincinnati for the event. He is Alfred E.
Mirsky Professor at The Rockefeller University in New York. The title

It Ain't Just Sex Anymore."
Research
Challenge Collaborative Grants
Research and Sponsored Programs (RSP) requests proposals for the next
competition in the Research Challenge program funded by the Ohio Board
of Regents. The Major Collaboration and Infrastructure Grant Program is
intended to provide funding to encourage the formation of collaborative
research teams and the development of proposals for major external grants
and contracts. Only collaborative partnerships of three or more fully
affiliated faculty (preferably from two or more departments or units)
will be eligible to apply for this competition. Applications are due
in the RSP Office by April 5, 2004.
