A press release in the UCSC University News came out on July 12, 2021 announcing the receipt of our NIH grant. It is a High-End Instrumentation Grant (S10) in the amount of $1.9 million for upgrading our equipment. The purchases are outlined here. (screenshot from news.ucsc.edu)

“We have a lot of faculty members who are pushing the limits on understanding biological systems in a way that might lead to novel therapeutic targets…But up until this point in time, very few people on our campus have been able to then take that and make a leap from that basic biological discovery to some sort of a translational benefit. I think the new instrumentation and upgrades to this facility are going to open up a whole new arena for those faculty members.”
