K-STATE BIOLOGIST RECEIVES STIMULUS FUNDS FOR FURTHER STUDY OF CELLULAR PROCESS THAT CAN PLAY A ROLE IN CHRONIC DISEASE
Federal stimulus funding is helping a Kansas State University biologist continue to collaborate with the Harvard Medical School. Their research is creating a clearer picture of a certain cellular process that can play a role in chronic diseases like cancer.
Katsura Asano, K-State associate professor in the Division of Biology, received nearly $200,000 from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences through Recovery Act funding. The grant is to study how eukaryotic cells — like the ones humans have — initiate the process of building proteins.
