Carolina researchers are involved in several opioid-related projects, including ncIMPACT’s Opioid Response Project to encourage communities to share information to develop approaches to the crisis, a School of Medicine lab’s work to design safer drugs to relieve severe pain and Kenan-Flagler Business School’s Center for the Business of Health’s development of an adaptable playbook for governments to spend opioid settlement money wisely. The holistic approach helps veterans and first responders who may be dealing with multiple diagnoses. The Transforming Health and Resilience in Veterans Program is dedicated to treating traumatic brain injuries and related health conditions and promoting overall wellness for veterans. Frank Leibfarth, associate professor of chemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences, and his lab develop reagents, molecules that react with a bond in the polymers of plastics, with the goal of recycling plastic waste into more valuable products. Carolina researchers are working on ways to turn this trash into treasure. manufacturers make enough plastic products to fill the Carolina Panthers’ football stadium. Guskiewicz shared these three examples of how Carolina researchers are “making a difference in people’s lives”: “Every day across our campus, researchers are solving problems and addressing the grand challenges of our time.” I am beyond grateful for their hard work and dedication to our mission of serving the people of North Carolina,” he said. “Each day we are moving closer to our goal of becoming that leading global public research university, and it’s because of our community.
Guskiewicz also praised the “amazing work” of the Collaboratory and called attention to other research at the University. in his opening remarks at the full board meeting on March 23.Ĭhancellor Kevin M. “The idea of the Collaboratory was to leverage the research engine of North Carolina’s universities to inform policymakers and improve the lives of North Carolinians and, ultimately, to make the world a better place,” said Chair David L.
The state legislature established the Collaboratory in 2016. Trustees cut short their last committee meeting on March 22 to attend the ribbon-cutting with researchers and special guests from the North Carolina General Assembly. Instead of cutting down nets, Tar Heels cut a white and Carolina blue ribbon to mark the opening of new space for the North Carolina Collaboratory in Kenan Labs. The University Board of Trustees celebrated March Madness differently in 2023.
