Our Achievements
Addressing Anxiety
Researchers at our Center for Children and Families tested a computer-based training that could help children with anxiety improve their attention skills. The study was the first to find an effective alternative for children who don't respond to in-person cognitive behavior therapy.
Protecting Health
A biophysics team from our Biomolecular Sciences Institute has joined forces with Oragenics Inc. in hopes of developing new antibiotics to treat life-threatening infections for oral mucositis, a condition caused by cancer treatments in which painful sores develop in the mouth.
