SwRI and UTSA will create synthetic process for antibiotic drug discovery

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is collaborating with The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) to explore and develop a novel platform or chemical process for synthesizing antibiotic compounds with a $125,000 grant. The project, one of two winning proposals this cycle, is supported by the Connecting through Research Partnerships (Connect) program designed to foster collaboration between SwRI and UTSA.

The role of climate change in shaping species diversity: A regional study in Bioko Island. Equatorial Guinea

The aim of this pilot study is to investigate adaptations to unpredictable environments in nocturnal galagos (Galagidae). Animal species may develop adaptive coping mechanisms to improve fitness in environments with unpredictable changes in climate extremes (e.g. El Ni??o). Gummivory - feeding on the gum and sap of woody plant species - is thought to be an adaptive strategy that may have evolved in response to these sudden unpredictable environmental changes. This research will be conducted on Bioko Island. Equatorial Guinea. Bioko is a biodiversity ???hotspot???
