Faculty research is gaining attention in national and international publications

Mark Haykowsky, the Moritz Chair of Gerontology Nursing Research, was senior author on a PLOS One article demonstrating that, by using a novel non-invasive technique, it is possible to measure oxygen consumption in the legs of heart failure patients, providing additional insight into this syndrome.

A team of biologists led by department Chair Clay Clark published a study in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that removing water molecules can deactivate caspase-3 enzymes, thus opening new doors for treatment of autoimmune diseases like arthritis that have been linked to overactive enzymes.

In a Burlington Magazine cover story, art history Professor Mary Vaccaro proved that a drawing in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence was the work of Denys Calvaert, not Annibale Carracci, the artist to whom it had previously been attributed.

A group of physicists led by Professor Wei Chen has shown that using microwaves to activate photosensitive nanoparticles produces tissue-heating effects that ultimately lead to cell death within solid tumors. The study was published in The Journal of Biomedical Nanotechnology.

In The Malaria Journal, Marco Brotto, the George W. and Hazel M. Jay Professor in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation, demonstrated that the right amount of diet and exercise can help lessen damage to the heart and skeletal muscles brought on by malaria.
