UC Davis grant zeroes in on novel asthma diagnosis and treatment
Date:6/19/2009

lammatory disorders, Hammock explained. "It's an enzyme in the same arachidonic biochemical pathway where many other common pharmaceuticals such as aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Ibuprofen, Motrin and others are active."

The prevalence of asthma has increased 75 percent from 1980 to 1994, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Surveillance for Asthma.

Hammock's current research sprang his initial work on fundamental insect biology. He and UC Riverside cell biologist Sarjeet Gill discovered the enzyme in 1969 at UC Berkeley.

Hammock holds a joint appointment in Cancer Research with the UC Davis Medical Center. He directs the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Program on the UC Davis campus, as well as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Training Program in Biotechnology, and the NIEHS Combined Analytical Laboratory.
