IMPACT

All three OSU professors named 2018 Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science are in the College of Science.

The College of Science launches Innovation Days, a series of workshops for faculty to spur innovation and entrepreneurship.

Alumna Marian Waterman, professor of microbiology and molecular genetics at the University of California, Irvine, is honored as 2018 Alumni Fellow.

Justin Hall (Ph.D. ’10) is excited to return to Oregon State University and give back to the community that helped jumpstart his success at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals.

Congratulations to these science faculty and administrators who received 2018 Faculty and Staff Awards for administrative and research excellence!

The College of Science awarded 38 SURE Science awards of $5,500 to each student to conduct summer research in 2018.

The second Genetic Code Expansion (GCE) Conference accelerated fundamental research into the biology of life as well as drug discovery and material science.

Biophysicist Elisar Barbar and team have discovered that the intrinsically disordered state of the protein ASCIZ, a key transcription factor within cells, plays a major role in regulating production of the protein LC8.

Biochemist and biophysicist David Hendrix and collaborators have used deep learning to decipher which ribonucleic acids have the potential to encode proteins.

Ph.D. student Amber Vogel received the 2018-19 Christopher and Catherine Mathews Graduate Fellowship in biochemistry and biophysics.

OSU biophysicist Weihong Qiu has solved a longstanding puzzle concerning the design of molecular motors, paving the way toward new cancer therapies.

Biochemist Adrian Gombart has discovered that nanofiber-based wound dressings loaded with vitamin D spur the production of an antimicrobial peptide, a key step forward in the battle against surgical site infections
