Alfred Viola, who taught at Northeastern for 41 years and founded its chemistry PhD program, passed away on May 15th. He was 92.

What makes SARS-CoV-2 so infectious? The answer is in its proteins. Mary Jo Ondrechen and Penny Beuning, professors of chemistry and chemical biology, are using machine learning to investigate these proteins and begin to understand how to slow the spread of the virus.

As an undergrad, co-op Noah Bissonnette never thought he'd get published or run independent experiments. Then he met the right mentors.

In soap lather, a combination of molecules assemble into bubble-like structures that trap viral matter and other biomaterials—grease, oil, dirt—and rinse them down the drain, says Thomas Gilbert, associate professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Northeastern.

Congratulations to Oyinda Oyelaran and Prasanth George, who have been named the 2020 COS Teaching Awards Recipients!

The Biochemistry '13 alumna took time out of her busy schedule to give us an on-the-ground look at COVID-19 preparations at MGH and to discuss her formative experience here at Northeastern.

Imagine if we could grow a building the way coral polyps grow a reef, or if living cells in our clothes could break down sweat and body odor. It’s not science fiction, says associate professor Neel Joshi. It’s the future of scientific research.

Researchers at Northeastern and Loyalist College in Ontario, Canada, are teaming up to train graduate students in the analytical techniques required to investigate cannabis, and help them understand the regulatory landscape in both Canada and the U.S.

Using the same techniques that help social media learn about you, Northeastern assistant professor Steven Lopez is training machine learning algorithms to find millions of new molecules to help make materials for cancer therapy, renewable energy, and other important technologies.
