 
4 receive ACS grants Four cancer researchers at UC Davis received Institutional Research Grants from the American Cancer Society this year. Designed to encourage younger faculty to study the causes and cures of cancer and to develop new projects that will subsequently become strong contenders for national funding, the awards, totaling $187,500, were presented at a reception in June. Enoch Baldwin, an assistant professor in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Section of the Division of Biological Sciences, received funding for the complete DNA sequence specificity of Cre recombinase. Christopher Evans, an assistant professor in the Department of Urology at the School of Medicine and Medical Center, received funding to investigate the regulation of endothelial cell urokinase expression in human prostate cancer angiogenesis. David Morris, assistant adjunct professor in the Department of Pathology at the medical school, received funding to study insertion mutation scanning of the mouse genome to rapidly map locations of proto-oncogenes. David Wilson, assistant professor in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Section of the Division of Biological Sciences, received an award to study the biochemistry and structure of the RAD17 protein from saccharomyces cerevisiae.
