The Erickson Discovery Grant, which funds independent research projects for undergraduate students, has been awarded to 43 recipients this year.
Sulfur-based compounds produced in our bodies help fight inflammation and create new blood vessels, among other responsibilities, but the compounds are delicate and break down easily, making them difficult to study. A team led by Penn State scientists have developed a new method to generate the compounds — called polysulfides — inside of cells, and the work could potentially lead to advances in wound treatment and tissue repair.
Four projects were recently awarded Penn State Commercialization GAP funding.
Congratulations to the Penn State Earth and Mineral Sciences Library winner, fall 2023: Vyom Mehta, material science and engineering, “Platinum: Insights into the Hydrogen-based Solution for the Fossil Fuel Problem.” Penn State University Libraries presented its seventh annual Undergraduate Research Award: Excellence in Information Literacy honors at the end of the spring 2024 semester to 111 students at 20 undergraduate Penn State campuses.
