Dr. Huiping Zhang Funded R01 Grant
Identifying Brain Epitranscriptomic Changes Associated with Alcohol Use Disorder Huiping Zhang, PhD Award Number: 1R01AA029758-01 Chronic alcohol consumption may result in methyl-adenosine modification of brain RNAs, thus altering the stability and expression of brain RNAs involved in reward or addiction-related pathways. This R01 project will (1) identify differentially methylated and expressed messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in […]
