When proteins don’t fold correctly, it stresses out our cells. This talk explores how two key proteins, GADD34 and CReP help cells cope and survive. Using zebrafish as a model, we’ll dive into what this research means for understanding and potentially treating neurodegenerative diseases in humans.
Explore how invisible fields and ionized gases are shaping tomorrow's technology and how you can get involved as a student, researcher, or innovator.
This presentation will provide attendees with information about undergraduate pharmacy programs available at University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. We will discuss the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences program and the Pre-Pharmacy Advantage Program for those interested in career pathways in the pharmaceutical industry and pharmacy practice.
A review and summary of regulatory compliance in the alcoholic beverage sector, its translation to other manufacturing operations, and the potential to create a pipeline of students to fill future roles..
The whales are arguably the most modified mammals. Details of their evolutionary history are remarkable in fossil evidence and transitional forms. Major players in this amazing 50-million-year journey will be introduced, along with aspects of cetacean natural history.
Learn about how scientists and engineers are creating materials, energy, and products that reduce waste by repurposing biological residues from agriculture and municipal sources. Four MESA student teams will present semester-long research projects and discuss how this area of research can impact our region.
Talks will be recorded for the Science Colloquium’s YouTube Site for later viewing.
