...synapse, and when the nerves come together, these molecules adhere to the nerve," essentially fusing a connection in the brain, explains Dr. Hakon Harkonarson, director of the Center for Applied Genomics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and a lead author of the study. Preliminary research suggests that cadherin 10 is very active in wiring the frontal cortex of the brain during fetal development...
...class, last semester’s new addition to the department’s curriculum. “The new thing the African and African American Studies department is trying out is ‘social engagement’ and we’re learning to do medical anthropology research. The work we do makes an impact on the communities,” she says. “We really get to know people, get to work with them, have conversations with them. I’ve really learned a lot about ethnographic research and its importance...
...been a star for a long time, lots of people have known about her,” fellow History Professor David R. Armitage says of Jasanoff’s reputation in the history world. Jasanoff is especially interested in the question of cultural mixing, which she explores through her research on modern British history and British imperialism. Her first book, “Edge of Empire,” examines how the British and French expanded in India and the Middle East through the lives of art collectors. “I felt like they were on the frontiers...
While much of Assistant Professor of Geochemistry Sujoy Mukhopadhyay’s work might seem rather esoteric—he uses noble gasses as geochemical tracers to study the Earth’s processes and history—his research findings may help scientists understand everything from global warming to desertification in Africa. Colleagues say that Mukhopadhyay is not the type to focus on one specific interest or area of research. Instead, he uses noble gasses—a group of inert, unreactive elements—as a tool to study a variety of geologic processes...
...very exciting to see students progress from just simple chemical principles to advanced chemistry,” he says. “I think because I’m getting very excited about that, the students may too.” Ritter is making a difference through his research as well. He sees his biggest accomplishment as elucidating the creation of carbon fluorine bonds from transition metals. He continues his work in transition metal-mediated transformations with the hope of having “an immediate impact on human health.” He explains, “There...
