Combining its strength in biological sciences and data analytics, researchers at the Department of Energy's PNNL are working to enable a quick response to a biological incident — whether intentional, accidental or natural.
A new study focusing on the proteins involved in endometrial cancer, commonly known as uterine cancer, offers insights about which patients will need aggressive treatment and which won’t.
While it’s one small step forward for mouse research, it’s a big step forward for understanding proteins, the molecular workhorses in biological organisms.
Jason McDermott is a PNNL computational biologist whose research interests include machine learning, data integration, and network inference. He unravels complex data related to cancer, infectious disease, and soil microbiomes.
PNNL scientists Richard (Dick) Smith and Ljiljana (Lili) Paša-Tolić are recognized by The Analytical Scientist in its 2019 Power List as two of 2019’s top 100 minds in analytical science.
Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reviewed the current state of knowledge about the impacts of climate change on soil microorganisms in different climate-sensitive soil ecosystems.
The microbial communities within the loose, friable aggregations of organic and mineral components in soil are highly organized spatially, shaped in part by the structure of the soil itself.
Nitrogen is a critical nutrient regulating productivity in many ecosystems and influences nutrient availability by affecting organic matter decomposition rates.
Biogeochemical activity in the hyporheic zone (HZ), sediments where the flowing waters of a river mix with shallow groundwater, supports many of the biological processes that occur within a watershed.
