#Science meets #music: Yo-Yo Ma and #NIH Director discuss #dopamine release in the #brain while playing and listening.

Within an #NIH #IRP team based in Baltimore, Maryland, Dr. Cheryl Cropp (front, second from the right) mines #genetic #data for insight into the #epidemiology of #prostate #cancer. It’s a daunting task that could be compared to finding a needle in a haystack. Dr. Cropp and her colleagues use a powerful suite of statistical tools to ensure data from large genetic screens is accurate and meaningful.

Dr. Bin Gao’s #IRP #lab studies advanced liver #disease (#ALD) with the goal of finding a #therapy to treat the condition. Here, a researcher in Dr. Gao’s lab prepares a #mouse #liver sample for study under the #microscope. The sample is being encased in wax before being sliced and fixed to a glass slide for viewing. Learn more about Dr. Gao’s #research with the IRP "Research in Action” series. https://irp.nih.gov/our-research/research-in-action/chronic-plus-binge-a-better-model-of-alcohol-abuse #NIH #science #alcohol #microscopy #addiction #cancer #alcoholism #NIAAA
