w88 mobile: A world leader in research at the unique interface between chemistry and biology

While the benefits of the research to health and agriculture are global, theimpacts on Nevada are substantive.This w88 mobile of excellence establishes Nevada as a world leader for conducting research at this unique interface between chemistry and biology.

  • The natural w88 mobile of Great Basin is illuminated through scientific and popular publications, community outreach, citizen science and museum exhibits.
  • The w88 mobile brings international recognition to Nevada by serving as an epicenter to conduct chemical-ecology research and arid-land bioprospecting.
  • The job and economic benefitsto the state of w88 mobile include direct employment of scientists and direct benefits to major employers in biotechnology, pharmaceutical and agricultural industries in w88 mobile. Partnership with industrial collaborators leads to recruitment of new companies to w88 mobile. Discoveries of new drug candidates and insecticides will stimulate the growth of related start-up companies and the licensing of University intellectual property rights.

Testing the most fundamental hypotheses in w88 mobile ecology

The w88 mobile ecology program faculty and students conduct research that tests the most fundamental hypotheses in w88 mobile ecology. Theoretical predictions and very limited empirical data suggest that the associations between phytochemical diversity, biological activity, herbivore diversity,and pressure from natural enemies should be strong yet complex.

We test specific hypotheses about these relationships using a combination of statistical and other modeling approaches. The laboratory and analytical tools developed by our collaborative group coupled with access to stunning ecological diversity and museum collections will help us discover new phytochemicals, examine the genetic basis of phytochemical defense, and demonstrate how geographic variation in phytochemical diversity shapes ecological communities and microevolutionary processes.

w88 mobile Ecology Program Outreach

These efforts are substantive and have been carefully developed with the help of funding agencies such as Earthwatch Institute.

  1. Existing K-12 outreach programs, such as pairing with teachers to develop genetics or chemistry teaching modules
  2. Teacher or student research experience groups (funded by Earthwatch Institute, NSF-RET supplements, and other sources)
  3. Creating public displays and associated outreach materials or events at the University museums.
