UO-led group proposes that an evolutionary change of protein interactions in cells some 600 million years ago changed life on Earth.

Basic research in Chris Doe's lab uncovers protein changes that someday could be targeted for new therapies for some human cancers.

Genome-sequencing technology developed at the UO was key in documenting rapid evolutionary adaptation to environmental change in less than 50 years.

Studies by the UO's Aparna Sundar show ‘green’ colors in a logo influence buyer perception of environmental friendliness.

Landscapes across much of North America were colder and eroded rapidly from cracking frost during the last ice age, according to UO research.

International team says end users of research at the local level should be included, valued and rewarded for their contributions.

Using germ-free zebrafish, researchers discover that low levels of some bacteria, often ignored, may be key to regulating immune response.

The UO historian and LERC director, author of ‘Fighting for Total Person Unionism,’ will hold events in Eugene and Portland.

Proposal in the journal Science seeks a broad unified effort to expand research and harness the potential benefits of microbial communities.
