“The massively parallel GPU resources available at SDSC’s Expanse were essential for our research as accessing the necessary length and time scales of the AT1 receptor activation with local computing resources was simply unfeasible. Together with PSC’s Anton2, these computational resources are providing unique structural insights into the physical phenomena that drive the activation and inactivation process for the AT1 receptor and allowing us to make groundbreaking discoveries at rates faster than ever.”
Oregon State researchers, including a member of the College of Science, have shown in a mouse model and lab cultures that a compound derived from hops reduces the abundance of a gut bacterium associated with metabolic syndrome.
College of Science faculty, staff, and graduate students have earned a record-breaking number of honors at University Day, a celebratory launch to the academic year featuring an annual awards ceremony.
