USC Dornsife News

USC Dornsife researchers will help create the world’s most comprehensive database documenting the shared molecular basis of diseases.

USC Dornsife's Simon Tavaré, a pioneer in the field of computational biology, has been honored with the highest distinction a British scientist can receive.

With the help of a small flowering plant and a fruit fly, Simon Tavaré is leading a team of researchers to advance our understanding of the genetic origins of human disease.

The director of the USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies is senior author of a study on oyster genetics and metabolic taxation.

USC College’s Michelle Arbeitman’s federal stimulus grant for neurobiology research in fruit flies will help scientists get closer to detecting genes that underlie social behavior. The work may lead to better understanding of neural diseases.
