He is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed on scientists new to their fields.
Top doc – UC physiologist Jay Hove has been recognized among the best young scientists in the country. "This larger space allows us to practice multidisciplinary pain management in state-of-the-art suites," says Akbik. Chronic pain is a common and debilitating condition, affecting more than 76 million Americans. There, UC doctors Muhammad Munir and Hamman Akbik are able to offer treatments ranging from physical and psychological therapy to injections and medical management all in one location.

Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded about $1.6 million in research grants to UC environmental health scientists investigating the effects of lead and mold exposure during childhood on allergy development. Lead danger – A new grant will help scientists in UC's environmental health department continue their ground-breaking research on lead and its effects on growing children. Compared to using either of the treatments alone, the combination of seeds and wafers appeared to delay disease progression and increase length of patient survival. Chemotherapy wafers are placed along the surface of the brain. Radiation seeds are implanted in the brain and deliver radiation to a targeted area for six months. The study focused on 34 patients who underwent surgery to remove recurrent malignant brain tumors.
On the brain – A new study by UC's Neuroscience Institute has found using a combination of treatments may be the best bet in treating malignant tumors in brain cancer patients.
