Scientists at the University of Kentucky, led by nano-biotechnologist Peixuan Guo, have made some critical discoveries over the past year into the operation of biomotors, the molecular machines used by viruses and bacteria in the packaging of DNA. Biomotors function similarly to mechanical motors but on a nano-scale. Last year, Guo's team reported the discovery of a new, third class of biomotor, unique in that it uses a "revolution without rotation" mechanism. Rotation is the turning of an object around its own axle, as the Earth does every 24 hours.

 "It is a real blessing to wake up and enjoy doing a job that I am so passionate about,” said the physician-electrophysiologist at UK HealthCare's Gill Heart Institute.  “I live for those magic moments where I make a difference in my patients' lives.”

 Perhaps the most vivid example of his "magic moments" involves a woman named Rae Wagoner.

Not all learning experiences are created equally – and at the Learning Center at Linlee, an innovative partnership with the University of Kentucky College of Medicine allows young students to get rich, hands-on experience in the sciences and better their chances of succeeding in college and beyond. As part of the Fayette County Public School System, The Learning Center (TLC) is an alternative school for at-risk students who are facing personal challenges that might impede their ability to learn. These include socioeconomic factors, and, perhaps surprisingly, intellectual giftedness.
UK HealthCare and Norton Healthcare are building upon their history of collaboration to expand research and educational collaborations between the two institutions, with the goal of improving health and health care for all Kentuckians. Beginning July 1, educational and research initiatives between UK and Norton will be lead by Dr. Stephen Wyatt, who most recently served two successful terms as the founding dean of the University of Kentucky College of Public Health.

Congratulations are in order to Benjamin J. Fowler, PhD, who successfully defended his dissertation yesterday. Fowler has been studying under Dr. Jay Ambati in the Department of Ophthalmology. This milestone marks the conclusion of his graduate requirements of his PhD program. Fowler studies non-coding RNA biology in the context of a disease called age-related macular degeneration.

Program Overview

The MD-PhD curriculum at the University of Kentucky follows a traditional MSTP-style curriculum. Students usually graduate in 7 or 8 years; our average length of training is 7.3 years. Below is the typical time-line for training; in rare instances, individuals may tailor a different program.
