With near-atomic precision, a USC Dornsife team of scientists visualized for the first time how opioids and the antidote Narcan engage a key brain receptor, offering insight that could lead to improved pain treatments and overdose reversal.
Most species still lack their own sequenced genome. New research led by USC Dornsife shows that when studies rely on similar but different species, findings from genetic data can be distorted by up to 60% — putting vulnerable species at greater risk.
The USC Dornsife professor’s groundbreaking approach to quantum computing has earned recognition in the Airbus-BMW Quantum Computing Challenge.
USC Dornsife researchers add solid evidence that declines in wild bee numbers stem largely from pesticide use and recommend using more sustainable pest management methods.
Researchers uncover factors in urban areas that affect diversity among insects and spiders — and turn up dozens of previously unknown species, to boot.
USC Dornsife researchers employ artificial intelligence to unveil the intricate world of DNA structure and chemistry, enabling unprecedented insights into gene regulation and disease.
The USC Dornsife professor (research) of quantitative and computational biology is recognized for “distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.”
An expert on bees and other pollinators discusses the recently approved vaccine to protect honeybees from a bacterial scourge and gives tips for helping these ecologically crucial species survive.
Remo Rohs, founding chair of USC Dornsife’s newest academic department, is elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
