The program aims to enhance undergraduate education through research experiences and encourage students to pursue graduate education in chemistry and life sciences.
A team of researchers from the University of Georgia has created a working model that explains how biological clocks work at the molecular level. The discovery has significant implications for understanding diseases such as cancer and sleep disorders, which are often linked to clock gene regulation.
The Pauletta and Denzel Washington Family Gifted Scholars Program in Neuroscience awards $2,500 monthly support to graduate researchers and $2,000 per month to undergraduate students. The program aims to train the next generation of life scientists and promote significant contributions in the sciences.
An undergraduate researcher at Williams College has discovered the specific mechanism mice use to enter torpor, a state that enables them to survive fasting periods. The study found that replacement of epinephrine and adrenaline in the peripheral nervous system determines whether an animal enters torpor.
The ACS Scholars Program has reached its 10-year milestone, providing financial support to over 1,600 minority students pursuing degrees in chemistry and related disciplines.
