Dr. Bert Semler, of the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, talks about cellular protein modifications that occur in a poliovirus infection.

Dr. Alexandra Poole discusses her research, which showed a link between the progesterone receptor and the BRCA1 gene and raised the possibility of using anti-progesterones for breast cancer prevention.

Dr. Marcelo Wood, from the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior, will share his research on how HDAC inhibitors can enhance memory and potentially treat things such as Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome and Huntingon's disease.

Dr. Joel Martinez shares the research he did at UCI on intracellular transport.

Dr. David Camerini from the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry will be explaining why some people don't progress from HIV to AIDS.

Chris Raub, a PhD student in the Biomedical Engineering Department, came to the show and explained his work on imaging collagen, which may be useful for evaluating tissue changes such as those seen in asthma.

Robert Sulc from the Shea Lab in the Chemistry Department explains his work with ant nestmate recognition cues - the hydrocarbons he creates might one day be able to start a civil war in an ant nest.

Professor Natalia Komarova talks about mathematical models of genetic instability in cancer.

Dr. Fan Gang Zeng from UCI's Biomedical Engineering Department describes his work with cochlear implants and tinnitus treatment.

Sophie (So Hyun) Chung is a Ph.D. student in biomedical engineering doing research at the Beckman Laser Institute at UCI. She is studying tissue water state changes in breast cancer tissues with diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS), a non-invasive bedside optical technique for tissue physiological property monitoring. DOS was developed by the directo…

Lindsey VanSchoiack is a Ph.D. candidate in biomedical engineering at UCI. Her research is focused on studying calcification and implant stability and integration in biological systems using an instrument developed by her advisor Jim C. Earthman, Ph.D. Lindsey received an Achievement Rewards for College Scientists (ARCS) Fellowship from the Orange …
