What is your major? I’m a third-year cell and molecular biology major on a pre-med track with a minor in business administration. I am currently a CaNCURE Research Assistant co-op at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. What inspired you to pursue this combination of studies? What career do you hope to pursue when you graduate? I’ve always […]

Researchers at Northeastern and neighboring colleges say they’ve made a landmark discovery that takes a deeper look at the metabolic and biochemical origins of a debilitating genetic disease known to cause a range of symptoms and health problems. A new study, published Wednesday, focused on a severe neurodevelopmental disorder referred to as 16p11.2 Deletion Syndrome, […]

Every movement in the human body—from lifting our arms to our beating hearts—is regulated in some way by signals from our brains. Until recently, scientists often tracked and understood that brain-body communication only after the fact, sort of like listening to a voicemail as opposed to being on a call. But researchers at Northeastern have […]
