CVMBS Researchers Develop State-Level COVID-19 Response Model
A team of researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVMBS) and the Texas A&M School of Public Health (SPH) has developed a model that predicts at a state-level the non-pharmaceutical intervention needs of states to mitigate risk and contain COVID-19 as they reopen. This transmission dynamic model—which evaluates the […]
Texas A&M Researchers Using Innovative Technology To Develop New Chemical Safety Testing Method
Rusyn and Chiu, professors in the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences’ (CVMBS) Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences (VIBS), received nearly $800,000 for the study “Integrating tissue chips, rapid untargeted analytical methods and molecular modeling for toxicokinetic screening of chemicals, their metabolites and mixtures.” This three-year project aims to use biological, analytical, and modeling […]
Texas A&M, NC State Researchers Develop Online Tool For COVID-19 Risk Assessment
COLLEGE STATION, April 2, 2020—The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis, and government and health care organizations around the world are generating vast amounts of data and models to help inform decisions. However, the majority of impactful decisions on how to handle the crisis are made at the local level, where consistent access and analysis […]
Chiu Appointed to National Toxicology Program Board of Scientific Counselors
Dr. Weihsueh Chiu, a professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences’ (CVM) Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences (VIBS), was appointed to the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Board of Scientific Counselors this spring. This federal board serves as an advisory committee to the NTP and evaluates the scientific merit of NTP intramural and […]
CVM Professor Participates On National Committee Evaluating Sodium, Potassium Intake Values
The New Report Introduces A New Category For Sodium Based On Chronic Disease Risk Reduction Weihsueh Chiu, a professor in the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences’ (CVM) Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences (VIBS), was part of a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee that reviewed current evidence and updated […]
CVM’s Chiu Creates Cardiac Model for Testing Drugs’ Effect on Long QT Syndrome
In a well plate, roughly the size of an iPhone, 5,000 heart cells beat in synchrony. These cells have an important role—their response to different medical drugs is helping researchers like Texas A&M’s Dr. Weihsueh Chiu predict how those drugs and environmental chemicals could cause or exacerbate a heart rhythm condition called long QT syndrome. […]
Texas A&M’s Chiu Receives Grant Through Gulf Research Program
Weihsueh Chiu, a professor in the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences’ (CVM) Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences (VIBS), has received a $700,000 grant from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Gulf Research Program (GRP). Chiu’s project on “Prioritizing Risks from Oil Spills: Supporting Decisions with Read-Across Using 21st Century […]
