Congratulations to 2019 ARCS Foundation Oregon scholars!

Biochemists find that the brains of people with congenital deafness may be rewiring themselves in ways that affect how those people learn.

Physicist Bo Sun had a breakthrough discovery that remove bottlenecks to making more effective metastatic cancer treatments a reality with tremendous social impact.

Biochemists Alvaro Estevez and Maria Franco discover an important breakthrough toward understanding why certain cells in the nervous system are prone to breaking down and dying.

Faculty and student researchers in biochemistry uncover protein modifications that may lead to potential new cancer therapies that spare healthy cells.

Biophysicists have opened up a possible avenue for new cancer therapies with reduced side effects.

Doctoral student Patrick Morar is the 2019-20 Christopher and Catherine Mathews Graduate Fellow in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics.

When alumna Karen Nickel (Chemistry, ’61) returned to campus after a long and illustrious career in clinical chemistry, the trip “brought back lots of good memories."

Science students organize a very successful biomedical ethics conference.

Goldwater Scholar Kendra Jackson is a biochemistry and molecular biology senior with big dreams of a future in medicine and research.

A compound with potential as a treatment for ALS has gained further promise in a new study by biochemist Joe Beckman.

“It’s a dream every day being here,” says biochemistry and molecular biology senior Cooper Lee Stateler, a first-generation college student from Coos Bay.
