IMPACT

An increased interest in science and medicine is drawing a new generation of students to enroll in the OSU College of Science pre-med program, where they're gaining real work experiences and receiving strong preparation for medical school and beyond.

The College of Science awarded two interdisciplinary teams funding to pursue promising leads in mental health and cancer research. One team will investigate the role of the gut-brain axis on sex differences in anxiety, and another will explore ways to develop an synthetic version of HHT-- a rare plant alkaloid that is showing great promise in the development of new medicines for multiple forms of cancer.

Mackiewicz is a new assistant professor in the chemistry department and was recruited earlier this year. Formerly at Portland State, her interdisciplinary research uses nanotechnology to solve problems related to human health and the environment.

Chemist May Nyman received the Humboldt Research Award which will allow her to study at two leading institutions in Germany in 2021.

OSU's Ecampus chemistry courses are some of the best in the nation. Here's how they did it.

During the COVID-19 pandemic that shut down most operations across OSU, the OSU Chemistry Store became a central distribution point for the College of Science, creating sanitizer when it was sold out in stores. Sierra Hansen, Chemstores storekeeper, was a critical element of its success.

Culminating a project led by chemist Rich Carter, leaders from 67 universities and 13 national organizations have unanimously voted to approve a set of recommendations for recognizing innovation and entrepreneurial achievements among the criteria for higher education faculty promotion and tenure.

Five faculty and scholars from the College of Science are among this year’s award recipients at University Day, OSU’s most prestigious annual awards for research mentoring, scholarship, teamwork, teaching and service.

Aspiring forensic scientist Madeline Bloom, an honors chemistry student, gets a huge boost from College of Science undergraduate research opportunities.

The College of Science is proud to announce that 41 science students have received summer undergraduate research awards.

The vibrant blue discovered by Oregon State University researcher Mas Subramanian has cleared its final regulatory hurdle: The Environmental Protection Agency has approved its use for commercial purposes, including in paint for the artists who have long coveted it.

Congratulations to the following faculty for receiving promotions and /or tenure for the 2019-2020 academic year.
