NIH awards $400,000 to IUPUI to explore protein folding
December 13, 2019
IUPUI chemist Ian Webb, PhD. has received a $400,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to study protein folding using ion mobility mass spectrometry, a technique that distinguishes molecules based on their size and mass.
Lead pollution from Native Americans attributed to crushing galena for glitter paint, adornments
October 21, 2019
Native American use of galena at Kincaid Mounds, a settlement occupied during the Mississippian period (1150 to 1450 CE), resulted in more than 1.5 metric tons of lead pollution deposited in a small lake near the Ohio River. New data from IUPUI researchers found the lead did not originate from this Southern Illinois settlement but instead was brought to the site from other Midwest sources.
Biology department welcomes 12 graduate research students
October 09, 2019
With a myriad of research programs within the Biology Department at the School of Science, incoming biology graduate students are exploring a range of topics. This fall the department is welcoming 12 research students into its graduate program, studying topics ranging from fetal alcohol syndrome in zebrafish to DNA sequencing in flies.
Complex energies, quantum symmetries
October 07, 2019
New research from IUPUI and Washington University in St. Louis realizes one of the first parity-time (PT) symmetric quantum systems, allowing scientists to observe how that kind of symmetry—and the act of breaking of it—leads to previously unexplored phenomena. The work is published Oct. 7 in the journal Nature Physics, with associate professors at IUPUI and at Washington University, as the corresponding authors.

Drug treatment for hydrocephalus, or water on the brain, is the target of IUPUI research team
August 29, 2019
IUPUI biologist is leading a team that seeks to create a drug that will be the gold standard of care in treating hydrocephalus, known more commonly as "water on the brain," a condition that can occur at any age for a variety of reasons. It may lead to developmental delay, neurological decline, blindness, impaired motor function, dementia or death.
Health effects of eating marijuana is subject of a new study
August 09, 2019
INDIANAPOLIS -- Researchers have conducted a study in which mice voluntarily ate a dough containing THC, the primary psychoactive component in marijuana. That opens the door to additional studies that will help shed light on behavioral and physiological effects that occur in people when they eat food infused with marijuana.
