Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

USDA funding to Alonso lab!

Dr. Ana Alonso
Congratulations to Ana Alonso, whose grant entitled "A systems approach to understanding and improving industrial oil biosynthesis in an emerging crop Physaria fendleri” has been funded by the USDA for three years. This grant will develop a comprehensive understanding of how industrially relevant hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) are synthesized in the emerging crop Physaria fendleri. HFAs produced by this plant could some day be used for the manufacture of biofuels, lubricant greases,  plastics, and other materials.
