In Colorado, three researchers from Colorado State University received the National Institute of General Medicinal Sciences “Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award” to take on solutions to human health. In total, they received $5.4 million over the next five years. Lucas Argueso from the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences will use his funding to determine what causes genome structures to change over time and chromosomes’ role in the process. Tai Montgomery from the College of Natural Sciences’ Department of Biology will focus on small gene regulatory molecules called MicroRNAs and their role in drug resistance and other functions. Tim Stasevich from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will use his award money to study how histones are implicated in diseases and gene expression.
