Nitric Oxide in Action Dr. Malinski has spent more than 15 years studying nitric oxide, a molecule with the potential to improve the prevention and treatment of conditions from heart disease to Alzheimer's to diabetes. In the past 10 years, research into nitric oxide systems has exploded, as the molecule has been discovered to be critical to the healthy functioning of the cardiovascular, nervous, and immune systems. This research has already contributed to the development of Viagra, and more advancements are on the way....(continued)
Tadeusz Malinski named Presidential Research Scholar The five-year award includes the title of Presidential Research Scholar and $4,000 a year to further the recipients' work. Since 1999, the university has bestowed the award on 20 faculty members who have made significant achievements in fields ranging from engineering to music. "The Presidential Research Scholars program recognizes a group of faculty this year who have strong reputations in fields ranging from the sciences to the humanities," said Ohio University President Roderick McDavis. "These scholars will help Ohio University achieve greater national prominence in research and creative activity."
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry welcomes Dr. Michael Jensen as its newest faculty member. Mike Jensen (B.S., Caltech; M.S., Ph.D., Northwestern) will join the Inorganic chemistry division in September 2005. His area of research is bioinorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry and mechanistic chemistry.

Forensic faculty showcased in upcoming video "CSI: Athens" is coming soon ... or something like it. Two video crews from Horizons Companies in Columbus visited the campus on Jan. 14 to interview several key faculty members from Ohio University's forensics program in the departments of chemistry and biochemistry, sociology and anthropology and biological sciences and the Law Enforcement Technology program for an upcoming video project contracted by McGraw-Hill Publishers. The final video will run eight- to 10-minutes and include faculty interviews and demonstrations of the department's forensic equipment.

New Study: Nitric Oxide Deficiency Raises Cardiovascular Disease Risk in African Americans The research team, led by Ohio University biochemist Tadeusz Malinski, examined the blood vessel cells of 12 white and 12 black healthy female subjects. Using a system of nanosensors, they discovered that the cardiovascular systems of African-American subjects as young as 20 years of age could show signs of an unbalanced nitric oxide system that could become increasingly worse as they grow older, according to research published in a recent issue of Circulation, a journal of the American Heart Association.
