Are BPA Alternatives Safer? New Research Takes a Look
Are BPA Alternatives Safer? New Research Takes a Look
New research conducted at the University of Florida shows that a bisphenol A (BPA) alternative for making plastics, bisphenol S (BPS), could come with its own set of health risks. After past studies revealed the widely used BPA was contaminating food and water supplies, consumers quickly searched for alternatives. Market demand for BPA-free products led to the emergence of BPS as a commonly used bisphenol analog in plastic products.

UF Research Community Joins Hands to Donate Gloves, Masks and Other PPE
The same personal protective equipment (PPE) that is used in research labs is also used in clinical settings. Currently, this equipment is incredibly valuable as health workers are on the front lines treating COVID-19. In keeping with the UF spirit of collaboration and innovation, researchers from across the University of Florida donated thousands of PPE to support local medical workers.The solicitation of the donation drive was orchestrated by UF|Research.
The donated supplies, including gloves... Read More
New Publication from Bioinformatics’ Tongjun Gu
New Publication from Bioinformatics' Tongjun Gu
Bioinformatics assistant scientist Tongjun Gu Ph.D. has developed a two-step logistic regression model for association studies where known factors can serve as controls.
The model is helpful for studies seeking to identify novel regulators in the RNA editing process where the dominant enzyme was found in the first step and served as a control in the second step.
Advantages of the model:
It considered the sequencing depth in the analysis.
It can be validated in the first step by the association ... Read More
