Medical College receives $2 million NIH grant

Milwaukee, Wis. — The Medical College of Wisconsin has received a four-year, $2 million grant from a division of the National Institutes of Health that will extend a long-standing project through its 33rd year.

The project, under the direction of James S. Hyde, a professor of biophysics, is developing electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) instrumentation that will be available to researchers everywhere. The EPR technology examines samples of human tissue at the molecular level to study protein structure and dynamic interactions.
