Departmental news
Toward Safer Touchscreens
An unexpected ability of cells to bend metal determines the safety of silver nanowires — highly conductive nanomaterials a thousand times thinner than a human hair that are being used in next-generation touchscreens, a transnational team of scientists that includes UF researchers has found.

CRISPR Technology
Research with CRISPR technology at the UF College of Veterinary Medicine has opened the door to studying any organism imaginable, allowing scientists to explore how toxicants affect humans, animals and the environment. Dr. Chris Vulpe of our department is a leader in this effort.
