Graduate Student Rohan Gala Receives a Dissertation Research Grant that will support his research on understanding the relationship of brain plasticity to learning and memory.

Can a flow of information across Twitter signal when a momentous event is about to occur? Northeastern’s Alessandro Vespignani and an interdisciplinary group of scientists developed a method to find out. Their findings represent an initial step in constructing models to detect trouble before it’s too late.

The Northeastern University 2016 QuarkNet Masterclass was held at the Physics Department on March 5.

Pan­cre­atic cancer is a noto­ri­ously treatment-​​resistant dis­ease. Assis­tant pro­fessor Bryan Q. Spring develops pho­to­dy­namic light-​​based ther­a­pies that both target the malig­nant cells and stop the sig­naling between them that sparks new tumor growth. It’s a novel one-​​two punch approach to per­son­al­ized medicine. “With dif­fi­cult malig­nan­cies like pan­cre­atic cancer, you can never kill all the cancer […]
