Read moreResprouting allows competitive advantage in Redwood-Tanoak forests of Central Coast of California
Sofia Koutzoukis, under the mentorship of Margaret Metz, studies post-fire landscapes in Big Sur, California and explores the advantages for Redwoods and Tanoaks to either resprout or germinate from seed.

We are the first college in the Pacific Northwest to develop chemistry teaching labs that use single crystal X-ray crystallography as a new tool for characterizing molecular structure.
Read moreMechanisms of protein aggregation in Parkinson’s disease using zebrafish
Our lab studies the mechanisms that regulate neuron development as well as disease. Parkinson's Disease involves the abnormal aggregation of a protein called alpha-synuclein. In collaboration with Dr. Vivek Unni’s lab at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), we have established a zebrafish model for studying alpha-synuclein function in the living brain. Because zebrafish are transparent during development, we are able to visualize a fluorescence-tagged form of alpha-synuclein in vivo using confocal microscopy.
