Targeting the MYC Proto-Oncogene, BHLH Transcription Factor (MYC) interaction network in B-cell lymphoma via histone deacetylase 6 inhibition

November 11, 2022 By Emma K. Cheung '26

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, cancer was responsible for the deaths of almost ten million people worldwide. Such statistics place cancer as a leading cause of death worldwide, second to heart disease. Cancer is when a series of mutations occurs in a cell, resulting in uncontrollable cellular division that eventually leads […]

Breakthrough in Gene Sequencing and Identification of Leukemia-causing Genes in Iran

November 6, 2022 By Ruby Pollack '25

A research group based in Iran conducted a study to confirm the legitimacy of gene sequencing technology for discovering Chronic Myeloid Leukemia causing genes within three pre-existing cancer patients. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is an example of a monoclonal disease, meaning deriving from a single cell in this blood cell (hematopoietic).  CML represents around 15% […]

Living in Beaverland: The Ecology and Biogeochemistry of Beavers

April 9, 2021 By Jean Clemente '23

Next time you’re flying up to the Portland Jetport and the third rerun of Endgame just isn’t cutting it, look out the window. Much of the northern half of the continent is a sprawling landscape dotted with kettle lakes, winding rivers, and other vestigial scars of a world once drowned in ice. Certainly, of the […]

The Power of Plant Cells: An Interview with Luis Vidali, PhD

December 5, 2021 By Luke Taylor '24

Walking around campus, we are surrounded by plants of various sizes — pines, grass, bushes, mosses. Despite the variety of size and characteristics, all these plants share a similar structure: their cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is the protein fibers found within the liquid cytoplasm of plant cells that maintain and modify their physical structure. It performs […]

Examining the work of 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Laureate Svante Pääbo

                  Have you ever wondered how humans lived on Earth before the first major civilizations formed? It turns out that we were not the only hominid species on Earth in those times: other relatives of humans, such as Neanderthals, … Read Full Article about Examining the work of 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Laureate Svante Pääbo

From Crystal Balls to Blue Flies: Death Prediction in the Modern Scientific World

To most people, the phrase “death prediction” conjures distant images of glowing crystal balls, vibrant tarot cards, or the mystical fortune tellers in popular movies like Big and Ghost. Despite the terrifying implications of a finite and predictable death, a … Read Full Article about From Crystal Balls to Blue Flies: Death Prediction in the Modern Scientific World
