Brown algae are brown because they have evolved a special set of pigments that absorb even more light for photosynthesis than green plants and green algae do.
The center has held continuous funding from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, a branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, throughout its 30 years of work. After initial funding in 1991, they have successfully competed for and been awarded additional funding six times, most recently in 2022. The center’s research support to date is more than $28.5 million dollars, with an additional $7.8 million in the next five years.
Speakers shared insights, tools and personal stories in an effort to bring greater awareness to people struggling with their mental health.
Rob Paton in the Department of Chemistry helped establish the center in 2018. His work is in developing new computational approaches that enable data science to be applied to chemical reaction discovery and optimization.
CSU computer scientists and mathematicians are seeking to bring mathematics-based clarity to how artificial neural networks function, and how they can be better protected against security threats.
The curriculum, developed by Luis Aguilera and a team of colleagues, uses pandemic-inspired teaching methods to introduce quantitative biology concepts and techniques to young scientists.
A new study sheds light on how plants, however rarely, experience mutations in their mitochondrial genomes. Unlike humans, plants are able to quickly fix these mutations and not pass them on to their progeny.
As technology shifts to automate more on-the-job processes, occupational health researchers, such as Gwen Fisher from the Department of Psychology, are studying ways to design workplaces to foster new learning, autonomy, and problem-solving in support of worker health and well-being.
A new study demonstrates the possibility of changing the identity of synapses between neurons through enzymatic means, with larger implications for studying diseases of the brain.
The Zadrozny Lab designs molecules that allow magnetic resonance imaging to do things that it currently can't do.
