By combining both theory and experimental techniques, the researchers are attempting to complete this model and determine a theory that will make reusing these more expensive wafers a feasible option. The Faculty Mentoring Program is sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research. College of Veterinary Medicine Biological rejection is the undoing of many organ transplants, and successful procedures often are those in which there is a biologic match, as when the recipient and donor are related. Two researchers in the College of Veterinary Medicine are working on a new technique that may improve transplant successes involving non-family donors. The technique involves a novel bone marrow transplant procedure developed by Clint Lothrop, a professor in the Scott-Ritchey Research Center, who serves as mentor to Welch.
Resistance is altered by subjecting the recipient animal to non-lethal, low doses of radiation.
Even in this early stage, the research is showing signs of success. A recipient dog has displayed no indication of rejecting the donor organ for more than two months, the scientists said. Back to top Wooten named chair of UG research fellowship Marie Wooten, an associate professor in the Department of Zoology and Wildlife Sciences, has been named faculty coordinator for the new Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. It is designed to get students from all over the university involved in research, whether it is accounting, literature, science or drama. Five students are being selected during March for this year's program.
