Among the past year’s efforts, researchers looked to create more resilient oysters, produce medicines from plastic and ensure transplanted coral have the best chance at saving dying reefs.
It’s been another banner year for scientists at USC Dornsife, with breakthroughs on migraines, schizophrenia, COVID-19 and more.
Scientists aiming to save failing reefs by transplanting healthy coral reveal that success lies with genetic diversity — and not a single, coveted “super coral.”
USC Dornsife undergraduates showcase their inventive method of ensuring sustainably clean water at the International Genetically Engineered Machine Grand Jamboree, a global synthetic biology competition.
Though Americans widely support teaching K-12 students about slavery and racial inequality, most don’t want books with LGBTQ themes made available in schools, according to a new report from USC Dornsife and USC Rossier researchers.
Nearly a quarter of Los Angeles County households experienced food insecurity over the last 12 months — up 7 percentage points since the end of 2021, according to a new study released by USC Dornsife’s Public Exchange.
Scientists using laboratory models find that eating FDA-approved levels of saccharin, Ace-K and stevia early in life may result in several changes to the body, including brain regions involved in memory.
Research from USC Dornsife shows that moral values predict regional differences in COVID-19 vaccination rates beyond structural, demographic and political barriers to vaccination.
The discovery could give scientists a leg up on producing new vaccines and preventing more pandemic surges.
