 Dr. Glass Receives NIH Grant; Application Ranks in top 1%
Karen Glass, an assistant professor in the Dept. of Pharmaceutical Sciences on the Vermont Campus, has received
a $384,000 research grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). That is an impressive achievement in its own right, but Dr. Glass took it one step further by achieving a score of "10" on her grant application. That's the highest score one can receive and places her in the top 1% of all grants scored by NIH! Through the grant, Dr. Glass will continue her research of bromodomains, which are small protein modules contained within larger protein structures. Bromodomains play a critical role in the body by influencing the expression of genes in our cells. These interactions drive a range of biological processes, which can include the onset or advancement of a variety of disease states. The influence bromodomains have on disease makes them desirable targets for new drug development.
