The grant is part of the Tissue Chip for Drug Screening program, an initiative to help predict the safety of drugs more quickly and cost-effectively, and thereby speed the development of effective therapeutics. ]]> http://www.ncats.nih.gov/research/reengineering/tissue-chip/projects/awards-2012.html/feed/ 0 DOE awards $25 million to UC Berkeley, Stanford to lower cost of solar power http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2011/04/07/bay-area-pv-consortium/ http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2011/04/07/bay-area-pv-consortium/#comments Fri, 08 Apr 2011 00:00:43 +0000 Sarah Yang http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/?p=8993 DOE awards $25 million to UC Berkeley, Stanford to lower cost of solar powerThe effort to make sun power more affordable has gotten a big boost with a $25 million, five-year Department of Energy grant announced this week.
