Two thirds of men shed a portion of their hair by the age of 35. Male baldness can occur for a multitude of reasons: genetics, certain diseases, medication, infection, radiation, stress, and vitamin deficiencies. Check out the article attached below to see what scientific research was done to find out which vitamins and minerals can help with hair loss. ------------------------------------ Read more about hair loss and how to prevent it: http://www.bli.uci.edu/best-vitamins-and-supplements-for-a/

The latest gift from the Chao family, longtime #UCIHealth benefactors, will name the #cancer center at the new UCI Medical Center Irvine, bringing their commitment to advancing cancer care to $50 million. The new cancer center adjacent to the UCI campus will expand access to leading-edge treatments, clinical trials and world-class cancer care... to south Orange County. Since the family’s first gift to #UCIHealth in 1995, the @UCI Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center has become one of only 51 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive centers, the highest standard for an institution’s commitment and excellence in research and clinical care. ucihealth.org/cancer

Congratulations to Michael Berns, cofounder and founding director of UCI Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic. Berns has been elected into the British Royal Society of Medicine based on his extensive biomedical optics contributions in biology and medicine. The British Royal Society of Medicine is a society comparable to the National Academy of Medicine in the United States. -------------------------------------------- Learn more about his amazing feat here: http://www.bli.uci.edu/berns-becomes-a-fellow-of-the-briti/

The NIH National Heart Lung and Blood Institute has awarded Zhongping Chen, professor of biomedical engineering, a four-year $2.9 million grant to continue the development of a new imaging technology that will enhance clinicians’ ability to identify vulnerable lesions, tailor interventional therapy and monitor disease progression for patients with cardiovascular disease. ----------------- Read about his grant here: http://www.bli.uci.edu/chen-wins/

Please check out this video where a reporter talks to Dr. Chris Barty about his research using Blu Ray Diodes to combat the COVID-19 Virus! ------------------ http://www.bli.uci.edu/uc-irvine-researchers-exploring/

Dr. Chris Barty, UCI Distinguished Professor of physics & astronomy, is researching the use of diodes from Blu-ray digital video disc devices as deep-ultraviolet laser photon sources to rapidly disinfect surfaces and indoor air. Such technology would be less expensive than current medical- and scientific-grade systems and easily deployable. Please read pages 32 and 33 of the UCI Magazine to learn about Dr. Barty and his work! ------------- http://www.bli.uci.edu/dr-chris-barty-and-the-bridge-venti/

Today is Thomas E. Milner's first day serving us as our Director of the Institute. Please give him a warm welcome and read his message for his new position. ------------- https://mailchi.mp/uci.edu/re6ksdp9jv
