Hong Chen, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering and of radiation oncology at the School of Medicine, will address the need for innovative approaches to treating pediatric brain cancer with a three-year, $500,000 grant from the Australia-based Charlie Teo Foundation. With the funding, she and her team plan to develop […]

Jeffrey P. Henderson, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine and of molecular microbiology at the School of Medicine, has received a $20,000 grant from the Longer Life Foundation, a cooperative effort between the School of Medicine and the Reinsurance Group of America, to help fund his research, which has pivoted in response to the novel coronavirus […]

David Patterson Silver Wolf, associate professor at the Brown School, is part of a two-year, $1 million grant that will create a data warehouse ─ a system that collects and analyzes information ─ to improve outcomes and reduce costs for mental health and substance use treatment services in underserved rural areas of New York state. Patterson will […]

Michael Krawczynski, assistant professor of earth and planetary sciences  in Arts & Sciences, received a $234,692 grant from NASA for a project titled “Investigating Mechanisms for Producing Metallic Fe Enrichments and Magnetic Anomalies within Planetary Crustal Materials.” Krawczynski also won $136,725 from the National Science Foundation for collaborative research on the Earth’s deep interior titled “Experimental Partitioning of Highly […]

Todd Braver, professor of psychological and brain sciences in Arts & Sciences, received a $432,938 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support a project titled “Healthy Aging and the Cost of Cognitive Effort.”

Xiang Tang, professor of mathematics and statistics in Arts & Sciences, has received a $252,305 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). To explain the research, Tang asks: How does the sound of a bell determine its shape, or vice versa? The collection of frequencies at which a geometric structure resonates is called its spectrum. The spectrum contains […]

Arpita Bose, assistant professor of biology in Arts & Sciences, received a $1,029,281 grant from the National Science Foundation to better understand the molecular underpinnings of the process in which photoautotrophic microbes convert electricity and carbon dioxide to sustainable biofuels. The research aims to address fundamental gaps in knowledge surrounding extracellular electron uptake (EEU), or what Bose […]
