A familar Flash in blue and gold cheered on runners at the start of this year's Rainbow Run.

IN A FLASH: Give A Little To Save A Life
Donating blood is another way Golden Flashes help the community -- and save lives.
Physics professor receives DOE grant to study the quark-gluon plasma
Up until approximately 10^(-5) seconds after the Big Bang, the Universe was is a primordial state of matter called a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This is due to the fact that the early Universe was extremely hot and in such a hot environment normal matter, e.g., atoms, atomic nuclei, and even neutrons and protons, did not exist.
Physics professor receives NIH grants to study membrane proteins
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently awarded a $1.86 million grant to Thorsten-Lars Schmidt, Ph.D., to develop molecular tools that help researchers to understand membrane proteins. As an add-on the NIH awarded Dr. Schmidt an instrumentation grant for a high-end Atomic Force Microscope.

Research & Innovation Forums Showcase Breadth of Scholarship of Faculty
Twice each semester, 51±¬ÁÏ’s Division of Research and Sponsored Programs hosts Research & Innovation Forums, to bring together faculty members to publicly present their ongoing work.
Professors from Physics and Chemistry receive an NIH grant to study genetic transcription regulation
Using single molecule and ensemble level methods, the Balci and Basu Labs will perform in vitro and in cellulo experiments to establish the capabilities and limitations of nuclease-dead mutant of Cas9 (dCas9) to target G-quadruplex forming sequences in the promoter regions and regulate transcription.

Materials Science Research Receives Grant for New X-ray Scattering Instrument
51±¬ÁÏ’s Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute soon will be home to a new X-ray scattering instrument capable of examining materials in scales from as small as a fraction of a nanometer to as large as several micrometers.
