Research The primary
users of the X-ray core facility include Drs. Mair
Churchill (Pharmacology), Jeffrey
Kieft (Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics), David
Jones (Pharmacology), and Rui
Zhao (Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics). In addition, these primary
users collaborate with Drs. Bob Sclafani, Jessica Tyler, Charles McHenry (Biochemistry
and Molecular Genetics), Michael Holers (Immunology), Bob Garcia (Pediatrics),
Aleem Siddiqui (Microbiology), Dean Edwards (Pathology), and Heide Ford (Obstetrics
& Gynecology) in a variety of research areas. Some recent publications by
these users are listed below. W.T. Watson, T. D. Minogue, Dale L. Val, S.
