Critical link among high temps, aging and disease risk |
|
|
A new study from UC Irvine researchers in the Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health reveals that the combined effects of aging and heat waves are putting our health at greater risk by weakening gut and immune system function. This heightens the risk of infection from a deadly waterborne bacterium called Vibrio vulnificus that is increasingly found in warmer ocean waters. |

In January, Cuauhtemoc Ramirez received the Fletcher Jones Fellowship, which is awarded to outstanding doctoral students. Then in June, he completed his five-year Ph.D. journey. Now, Ramirez continues to work as a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Cholsoon Jang, assistant professor of biological chemistry, where he studies how cellular building blocks are used and distributed in a rare hereditary kidney tumor syndrome. His goal is to identify potential therapeutic targets for this type of cancer. “A huge part of why I love UC Irvine is because it’s so collaborative,” he said. “I accomplished so much because of opportunities to connect with researchers in interdisciplinary fields.” |
