Research Highlighted in the President’s Friday Letter

July 13, 2018Written by Morgan Solomon

The Friday Letter is the university’s weekly update directly from the president. Today several CMCI faculty were mentioned:

U of I researchers are trying to answer questions that could help slow the spread of antibiotic drug resistance, develop techniques to produce vaccines more quickly and help with treatment of malaria thanks to three federal grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The awards to Eva Top, Craig Miller and Holly Wichman in the College of Science and Shirley Luckhart in the colleges of Science and Agricultural and Life Sciences, total nearly $5 million to support multiyear studies aimed at improving disease treatment.

We love it when CMCI research news reaches the general public!
