In light of recent developments with the spread of COVID-19, School of Medicine IT supports SOM personnel to effectively work remotely. Please visit https://www.med.unc.edu/it/work-remotely/ for more detailed information.

Five Clinical Departments Receive Support to Incentivize Clinical Research by K Awardees.

Greg G. Wang PhD, associate professor of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics

The research laboratory directed by Dr. Greg Wang, associate professor of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics and the Cancer Cell Biology Program at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, recently identified a gene termed PHF19 to be critically involved in the development and progression of multiple myeloma, and also provided proof-of-principle evidence supporting pharmacological targeting of this pathway for therapeutics of this common hematological cancer. These findings were recently published by BLOOD, the official journal of the American Society of Hematology.

In the time it takes for an Amazon Prime delivery to arrive, cells damaged by chemotherapy can almost completely fix their most important DNA. That is the case in the livers of mice at least, according to a new study from UNC School of medicine researchers.

UNC researchers are spreading the word about these disparities and starting a conversation about how to change them.
