Steven Ray, who is currently the principal investigator on two NSF grants related to plasma physics and mass spectrometry, applied for a small grant to distribute 12,000 eclipse glasses to local school districts and community centers. The glasses were provided by the NSF for free and come with safety instructions.

A recent paper published in Communications Chemistry, led by research from UB Chemistry, discusses the structures and properties of EGFR bivalent inhibitors. This sheds light on ways to design new drugs more effectively. The findings are expected to influence practices across diverse small-molecule drug development programs in both academic and industrial settings, while also laying the foundation for advanced targeted cancer therapies.
