Professor Changcheng Zhou, faculty member of the Biomedical Sciences Division and ETOX faculty member, was one of only five scientists selected this year by the NIEHS to receive a Revolutionizing Innovative, Visionary Environmental Health Research, or RIVER, award. This prestigous award provides 8 years of funding to established researchers and supports groundbreaking projects in environmental health sciences. With the award, Changcheng and his laboratory will investigate how interactions between genes and endocrine disrupting chemicals may increase cardiovascular disease risk. More information about the award can be found on the UCR News website as well as on the NIEHS website. Our congratulations to Changcheng and his research group for this impressive award and recognition. I might mention that UCR (and the ETOX Program) now has two RIVER awardees on campus as Professor Yinsheng Wang also received one several years ago. [Photo is from the UCR News article.]
