American Cancer Society Grant Fuels Research in Colorectal, Breast and Cervical Cancer
Four dedicated researchers from Michigan State University have received grants totaling more than $3 million from the American Cancer Society, or ACS, to find new ways to prevent, detect, treat and help patients survive colorectal, breast and cervical cancer.
Student View: Research, Resilience and Giving Back at MSU
Veona Cutinho is a senior majoring in genomics and molecular genetics with a minor in mathematics at Michigan State University. She works in the Cellular Reprogramming Lab under Dr. Jose Cibelliand is the founder and editor-in-chief of SPARC, MSU’s first undergraduate-led academic journal.
School-Based Asthma Therapy Improves Student Health, Lowers Medical Costs
School-based asthma therapy, or SBAT, is a way to help students breathe easier. Students say that they like learning to be responsible for taking their medication, they can run around outside, and they feel better when they take their medicine regularly.
Eating Brown Rice Increases Exposure to Arsenic Compared to White Rice
According to new research from Michigan State University, published in the journal Risk Analysis, brown rice was found to contain higher levels of arsenic content and inorganic arsenic concentration than white rice among American populations.
Scientists Discover New Microbes in Earth’s Deep Soil
Tiedje, a University Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the MSU Department of Microbiology, Genetics and Immunology and the Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences, discovered in this huge, unexplored microbial world a completely different phylum, or primary category, of microbe called CSP1-3.
Researcher Identifies Variability in Supermassive Black Hole in the Andromeda Galaxy
DiKerby, who’s also a member of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, and his collaborators examined 15 years of data collected by Chandra. Then, they pieced together a record of the X-ray light produced by a supermassive black hole in the Andromeda galaxy called M31 star or M31*.
Researchers Use ‘Smart’ Bomb Therapy to Destroy Breast Cancer
A wife and husband professor team at Michigan State University are collaborating with researchers at the University of California, Riverside to create a new light-activated “smart” bomb to treat aggressive breast cancer.
Engineers Create “Smart” System to Prevent Future Infrastructure Disasters
Michigan State University researchers have developed a “deploy-and-forget” system that combines sensors with artificial intelligence, or AI, to assess the health of infrastructure like bridges, roads and dams, before and after events that could damage them.
How MSU Research Strengthens Michigan’s $6B Grape Industry
Grapevines are highly susceptible to plant viruses. In fact, grapevines commonly host multiple plant viruses — sometimes multiple viruses infect a single vine. That’s why Michigan State University researchers are working to keep vineyards healthy and productive.
Record Five MSU Students Awarded Prestigious Goldwater Scholarships
