Advances in HIV treatment have helped people live longer, bringing new questions about how to help them stay healthy as they age. Miller School researchers Drs. Maria Alcaide, Deborah Jones Weiss and Claudia Martinez are studying those questions as part of a long-running national th of people living with HIV over time.
With the research renewed for another six years, the Miami team is continuing to examine how HIV affects cardiovascular, mental, oral and other aspects of health, with the goal of identifying risks earlier and improving care throughout patients’ lives.

How do tiny molecules in the cells of the brain affect our decisions every day? 🔬
UCF researcher Dr. Cali Calarco’s lab is examining how neurons — nerve cells in the brain — and their molecules change when exposed to nicotine and other drugs. The goal is to understand how the brain eventually influence behavioral decisions, including those associated with addiction.
While her research is focused on nicotine, Calarco says her findings could have implications for other substances and even social media addiction.

Through her 3️⃣rd consecutive @NIH grant renewal, @UCF College of Medicine professor Dr. Mollie Jewett aims to “starve” Borrelia burgdorferi, preventing the tick-borne bacteria from spreading e disease.
Because the bacteria must consume vitamin B2 to survive, Dr. Jewett & her lab are examining ways to disrupt its metabolism by targeting newly discovered genetic markers linked to consumption of vitamin B2, essentially "starving" B. burgdorferi as soon as it enters the human body via black-legged tick bite.
