Research

Research scientists constantly look for more effective, safer medications.  Sometimes a drug that is effective in treating one condition increases the risk from another condition. 

Dr. Bert Little uses a data warehouse and statistical analysis to address the risk posed by cardiovascular medicines.

Funding

In mathematics, a "pico" is one-trillionth of something.  In rural Texas, financially needy, first-generation college students may feel the chances of their receiving a college degree are a "pico." 

Dr. Denise Martinez' NSF-funded PICOS program provides scholarships and special academic support to a select group of these students.

Scholarship

In April 2009 Professor Richard Winton was awarded the 2008-2009 Faculty Excellence in Scholarship Award for his research in theoretical mathematics, especially continuum theory and cryptology.
