The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has awarded funding to KU Molecular Bioscience faculty to research Herpes simplex virus (HVS-1) with the goal of restricting viral replication. molecularbiosciences.ku.edu/news/article/t… @KUMolBio

These Jayhawks kicked off the semester right at the Biology Welcome Event! They made friends, met professors, and got a sneak peek into their majors! #KUbiologywelcomeevent2025 #Kubiologywelcome #RockChalk #Hawkweek2025

KU research funding helps support nearly 5,600 jobs in the state. People in these jobs live in Kansas, patronize local businesses, and contribute tax dollars that support public services. Read more about @UnivOfKansas research impact. ⬇️ news.ku.edu/news/article/r… #KUForKansas

A new @KUMolBio study details the vulnerability of coronaviruses to inhibitors of a small protein domain found in all coronaviruses. The findings point toward potential antiviral therapies to combat future coronavirus pandemics. news.ku.edu/news/article/r…

@KUMolBio @KUCollege @KUbiology npr.org/2025/07/10/nx-… The story was picked up by NPR in their Science segment on All Things Considered!

Last visit of the trip at Maria Nuova Hospital which is the oldest active hospital in the world built in the 1600’s, renowned for medical innovation, renaissance art, historical architecture, and its continued role in modern healthcare.

@KUItaly2025 @kuhotZmicro @KUbiology @KUHonors Fantastic group of diverse and engaged faculty, staff, and students! Great example of university biomedical research with both commercial and state collaborations. Vaccine section and serological epidemiology was very impressive! @KUbiology @KUHonors @kuhotZmicro

Visited the Department of Health Sciences of the University of Florence which is a multidisciplinary academic institute with a focus on biomedical research that emphasizes collaboration between staff, students, patients, and the community.

Second Visit of the day with AGENAS who is a governmental entity that aims to provide true methodological standards for evaluating medical devices by assessing innovations and to support the regions through the establishment of the Interregional Networks!

@KUItaly2025 @kuhotZmicro @KUHonors @KUbiology Grazie Mille!! @Agenas_Salute

@Agenas_Salute Grazie Mille! Marco Di Marco and Team Agenas. Our students benefited greatly from comprehensive description of Italian health care and critical role of Agenas improving health care for all of Italy. Impressive team and innovative approaches. @KUItaly2025 @KUbiology @KUHonors
