Cryo-EM is a new imaging technology being used at OHSU that allows researchers to zoom in on cells at nearly the atomic level. Here are a few of the places where cryo-EM is making an impact at OHSU. Neuroscience In the Gouaux lab, investigators are using cryo-EM to study the structure and function of chemical […]
Professor Show-Ling Shyng isn’t one to revel in the spotlight. Look her up on LinkedIn, and you’ll find her profile doesn’t exist. Google her name, and you won’t find many personal details either. What you will find, however, is a treasure trove of articles about her pioneering research on the regulation of insulin. We sat […]
Kelly Monk, PhD, is one of the world’s foremost experts on the cells that form myelin, the protective sheath around axons that is damaged in diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Gordon Mills is seeing outstanding early results in studies using cancer drugs in combination, like a one-two punch, to boost their effectiveness.
Meet three researchers at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute — all united by the common goal of creating a world free from the burden of cancer.
Researchers at the Pediatric Brain Tumor Program discuss the urgent need for more targeted therapies for brain and spine tumors.
Eneida Nemecek, MD, MS, MBA, is a pediatric oncologist, researcher and professor who is determined to whittle the number of childhood cancers down.
Why do neurons die? That was what OHSU’s Marc Freeman wondered, years ago. Freeman — then a professor of neurobiology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, and first and foremost a basic scientist — understood that traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease all result from the degeneration of neurons. But he wasn’t initially […]
A Q&A with Bree Mitchell, PhD, who leads strategic planning, scientific program development, organizational development, operations, and scientific collaboration building as the Associate Director of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute’s Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research Center (CEDAR).
Scientists have long imagined how they could improve treatments for a host of diseases if they could better see how individual cells carry out the functions of life. That goal is now within reach at OHSU, thanks to a huge new investment in technology that allows researchers to view the makeup of molecules nearly down […]
