Northeastern’s Biology Club’s wildly successful event, NU Talk 2017, won Best Program at the 2017 Student Life Awards.

The groups went to the Eastern New England Biological Conference and the Eastern Branch Conference of the Entomological Society of America meeting.

Northeastern researchers touched on that question this week in a series of talks that examined renewing tissue function, improving and restoring motor control, and the remarkable memory power of superagers.

Four students were given the College of Science Dean's Awards for Graduate Student Excellence.

Singhal attended the wrong orientation as an incoming freshman. No big deal. It just sparked her curiosity, inspired her to switch majors, and led to transformative research and co-op experiences. Next month, she’ll share the highlights of her journey when she delivers the student commencement address on May 5—the same day she turns 23.

At Northeastern, Sarah Sherman has developed a passion for cancer research through hands-on training on co-op. For her Fulbright project, she plans to evaluate whether recent improvements to Botswana’s pathology labs have led to more timely diagnoses.

Climate change biologist Brian Helmuth will speak today at a high-level meeting at the United Nations headquarters, where he will highlight his research and participate in a discussion on efforts worldwide to address climate change and meet global sustainable development goals.

Undergraduate student Tyler Jensen won this year's AAAS Student Poster Competition.

Biology professor Slava Epstein is the lead character in the short documentary "The History of Resistance," in which he talks about his contributions to the search for beneficial microorganisms in places as close to home as his own backyard and, perhaps one day, as remote as the planet Mars.

Several graduate students are recipients of the annual awards.

Pankhuri Singhal and Matthew Nguyen published research on the regeneration of limbs in axolotls as first-line authors in Development.

Sarah Braun, a recipient of the Muckenhoupt Scholarship, says her co-op with Massachusetts Clean Energy Center confirmed her decision to work in the clean energy field.

The marriage of two innovative technologies—one developed by Northeastern’s Slava Epstein—could accelerate both the discovery of new antibiotics that kill pathogens without encountering resistance and the diagnosis of specific pathogens causing disease, which would enable fast, targeted treatments.
