Professor Frances Sladek, of the Department of Molecular, Cell and Systems Biology and ETOX faculty member, and her research group have recently been awarded a major NIH grant to investigate the molecular underpinnings of the keto diet and intermediate fasting. Their studies focus on the role of the transcription factor HNF4 found in the liver, and the formation of the proteins P1 and P2 which appear to be involved in energy metabolism. More information on the grant can be found on the UCR News website. Our congratulations to Dr. Sladek and her group for this recognition of their research and ideas.
