The study paves the way for researchers to watch disease progression at the genetic level in macaques, a close relative of humans. The findings, which appear in the April 13 issue of Science, will also teach us more about how humans and other primates evolved into distinct species. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=32057 Science Health and Medicine http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=32057 Thu, 12 Apr 2007 23:58:27 GMT The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, one of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded a contract to the University of Washington to use systems biology approaches to comprehensively analyze and model the virus-host interactions and cellular response networks that are induced or altered during the course of acute respiratory virus infection. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=44532 Health and Medicine Leila Gray (leilag@u.washington.edu) http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=44532 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 19:00:13 GMT The University of Washington and Oregon Health & Science University have received federal funding to form a regional research center aimed at combating emerging or reemerging infectious diseases that pose a serious threat to human health. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=48811 Health and Medicine Clare Hagerty (clareh@u.washington.edu) http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=48811 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:24:10 GMT Commandeering a host's energy resources is how hepatitis C viruses survive and propagate. Researchers have found key enzymes targeted in the takeover. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=55144 Health and Medicine http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=55144 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 08:00:00 GMT
