Research-grant funding for the department has averaged more than $2 million per year over the last eight years. The range of funding sources has broadened beyond traditional NIH, NSF, and
Department of Energy agencies in recent years to include community and Wilson’s Disease
foundations among others. Research output—as indicated by peer-reviewed publications—has exceeded 50 per year, including contributions in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Nature-Chemistry. Major contributions to this work have been
made by our students including six M.S. and 11 Ph.D. graduates in 2010-11.
