Dr. Ajay Srivastava, Assistant Professor of Biology, has received notice that his KBRIN-IDeA proposal entitled, “Functional Analysis of a Cathepsin L in Drosophila melanogaster” has been approved for funding contingent upon the expected full-cost renewal of the state-wide KBRIN grant from the National Institute of Health (NIH). The grant amount is expected to be $40,000 with a start date of May 1, 2016 and end date of April 30, 2017. The proposed research strives to elucidate the role of a Cathepsin L, which is encoded by the gene CP1 during the development, and of great interest for potential application to humans, tumor metastasis in Drosophila. This high-quality research will further the scholarly environment at WKU by involving undergraduate and MS graduate students in meaningful and exciting scholarly activities.
