UConn looks at bioinformatics and bone health

A team of University of Connecticut researchers has received a $2.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health for a five-year project studying how a variety of genes impact bone health.

David Rowe and Peter Maye from the UConn Health Department of Reconstructive Sciences will serve as the principal investigators for this project, as is Dong-Guk Shin from UConn’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering. He will lead the bioinformatics component of the project.
