Chronicle of Higher Education: Biophysicists Herbert Levine, José Onuchic, and Peter Wolynes are leaving their positions at the University of California, San Diego, to join a research center at Rice University in Houston, Texas. All three researchers are members of the National Academy of Sciences. At Rice they’ll work on elucidating the basic science of cancer as part of a $10-million initiative funded by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. In an interview with the Chronicle‘s Josh Keller, Levine acknowledged that the financial troubles of the University of California played a role in his decision to take up the Rice offer.
