Science & Technology

A study in Molecular Cell led by chemist Gary Patti in Arts & Sciences shows that cancer cells don’t want to waste glucose, they just consume it too quickly. The discovery was made possible with metabolomics, which allowed Patti and his team to observe the speed at which small molecules move through cells.

Erik Henriksen, associate professor of physics in Arts & Sciences, received a three-year $599,784 grant from the Office of Naval Research for his research project on topological qubits.
