The institute, which announced the grants July 7, provided another six awards in a separate category for early career researchers.</p> <p>Wang will study how alkylated DNA lesions affect genomic stability and can lead to diseases. His project was among those chosen to provide a greater understanding how specific genetic mechanisms can worsen diseases as part of environmental exposure.</p> <p>The RIVER grant provides $7 million in funding for&nbsp;eight years to support research projects in the Wang laboratory.</p> <p>“The RIVER award seeks scientists that have demonstrated the potential for continued innovative research and supports the majority of their established independent research program,” said Jennifer Collins, RIVER coordinator for NIEHS.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Read the original UCR announcement here:</p> <p><a class="btn-ucr-gold" href="https://insideucr.ucr.edu/awards/2020/08/19/chemistry-professor-receives-research-grant" target="_blank">View article</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="tags-title">Tags</div> <div class="tags-list"> <div><a href="https://cnasscholarships.ucr.edu/tags/inside-ucr" hreflang="en">Inside UCR</a></div> <div><a href="https://cnasscholarships.ucr.edu/tags/yinsheng-wang" hreflang="en">Yinsheng Wang</a></div> </div> <div class="sharing-title">Share This</div><span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="https://cnasscholarships.ucr.edu/news/2020/08/19/chemistry-professor-receives-research-grant" data-a2a-title="Chemistry professor receives research grant"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_x"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button_google_plus"></a><a class="a2a_button_email"></a><a class="a2a_button_printfriendly"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share" aria-label="more options to share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fcnasscholarships.ucr.edu%2Fnews%2F2020%2F08%2F19%2Fchemistry-professor-receives-research-grant&amp;title=Chemistry%20professor%20receives%20research%20grant"></a></span><script> (function () { const customClassName = 'show-for-sr'; const targetContainer = document.querySelector('.a2a_kit.addtoany_list'); if (!targetContainer) return; const addClassToLabels = () => { const labels = targetContainer.querySelectorAll('.a2a_label'); if (labels.length > 0) { labels.forEach(label => { if (!label.classList.contains(customClassName)) { label.classList.add(customClassName); } }); console.log('Successfully applied show-for-sr class to AddToAny labels.'); return true; } return false; }; const observerConfig = { childList: true, subtree: true }; const observer = new MutationObserver((mutationsList, observer) => { if (addClassToLabels()) { observer.disconnect(); } }); if (!addClassToLabels()) { observer.observe(targetContainer, observerConfig); } })(); </script> Fri, 21 Aug 2020 16:39:37 +0000 ilseu 2081 at https://cnasscholarships.ucr.edu
