Ching-Hong Yang, associate professor of biological sciences, has developed a compound that shuts off the “valve” in the DNA that allows the pathogen to invade and infect a host.
Yang and collaborator Xin Chen, a professor of chemistry at Changzhou University in China, have tested the compound on two virulent bacteria that affect plants and one that attacks humans. They found it effective against all three and believe the compound can be applied to treatments for plants, animals and people. Read more in the UWM homepage...
The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee is the principal life sciences department at one of North America’s premier urban research universities. We support internationally recognized research in diverse areas of biology from molecular and cell biology and microbiology to ecology and conservation biology. Our commitment to research excellence is the foundation of the Department's high-quality educational programs at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. We also provide scientific expertise that benefits the Southeastern Wisconsin community in several ways, including health and life sciences, business, industry, education, and the public.
Undergraduate students are offered a broad-based training in biological principles through practical field and laboratory experiences that provide opportunities to investigate biological phenomena and to develop critical thinking skills necessary to develop scientific hypotheses and to evaluate scientific data.
Graduate level training involves the proposal of scientific questions as research hypotheses with independent research, in the context of instruction in the most current research methodologies, to test them.
