BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT TO RECEIVE EQUIPMENT

Researchers in the Biology Department at Old Dominion University will be among the beneficiaries of a recent grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.

The funds ($716,557) will be used to establish a biomedical instrumentation core laboratory and were received by the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the Hampton University School of Pharmacy.

This lab will help propel existing research projects on anti-inflammatory steroids, the long-term effects of opiates and effects of Ginko Biloba and Panax Ginseng.
