Posted

The funding supports research in chloride ion imaging which increases understanding of organellar chloride in biological processes.

The goal of MIRA is to increase the efficiency of NIGMS funding by providing investigators with greater stability and flexibility, thereby enhancing scientific productivity and the chances for important breakthroughs. The program will also help distribute funding more widely among the nation's highly talented and promising investigators.

The grant will also fund graduate students and will provide research opportunities for undergraduate students, to help them accomplish their professional goals.

Professor KaHo Leung joined Clarkson University as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biomolecular Science in 2021. His research interest lies in the development of subcellular imaging tools and its application in cell physiology studies.
