Keck Fellow Featured in Rice News
Last year during his rotation in the anthrax research lab of Terri Koehler at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Troy Hammerstrom became interested in studying a protein in an anthrax bacterium that could be key in creating medicines to prevent or treat the disease.

Keck Fellow and mentor discover new method for assaying folding energy
Rice University physicists have unveiled an innovative way of finding out how proteins get their shape based on how they unfold when pulled apart. The experimental method could be of widespread use in the field of protein folding science, which has grown dramatically in the past decade, due in part to the discovery that misfolded proteins play a key role in diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

2009 Annual Research Conference
On October 29-30, 2009, more than 200 biomedical research scientists and trainees gathered at the UT M. D. Anderson Cancer Prevention Building Conference Center in Houston, Texas, for the 19th Annual Research Conference of the Keck Center for Interdisciplinary Biomedical Training, the training arm of the Gulf Coast Consortia.

Research Highlights
Gulf Coast Consortia
Why the heck is it called a consortia?
Consortium, from the Latin consors, for partner, is defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as an “association or a combination for the purpose of engaging in a joint venture.” Consortia (rather than consortiums) is the plural of consortium. Why, then, is the Keck Center called the training arm of the Gulf Coast ConsortiA, not the Gulf Coast ConsortiUM?

Gulf Coast Consortia Awards First Discovery Project Pilot Grants, Will Fund Early-Stage Chemical Genomics Research in Area Labs
HOUSTON (Jan. 3, 2008)-The John S. Dunn Gulf Coast Consortium for Chemical Genomics (GCC CG) has awarded eight researchers in the Houston-Galveston area with its first Discovery Project Pilot Grants in recognition of their outstanding and innovative early-stage work in computational biology and chemistry, which is an increasingly essential step in more rapid drug discovery.
