After 50 years in science and on the eve of retirement, Laboratory Fellow Karin Rodland, a cancer cell biologist at PNNL, is working on experiments she has dreamed about for decades.

Environmental engineer Mike Truex presented an Environmental Protection Agency webinar about how conceptual site models must change as new data is acquired for remedy optimization.

Accurate identification of metabolites, and other small chemicals, in biological and environmental samples has historically fallen short when using traditional methods.

A long-standing collaboration between PNNL and Oregon State University to study harmful chemicals at federally designated hazardous waste sites primarily across the Pacific Northwest has been awarded a five-year, $12.7 million grant.

A new study using proteogenomics to compare cancerous tissue with normal fallopian tube samples advances insights about the molecular machinery that underlies ovarian cancer.

The recent coronavirus pandemic shows just how quickly a deadly pathogen can sweep across the globe, killing tens of thousands in the U.S. and disrupting daily life for millions more in the span of a few months.

PNNL has patented an instant, accurate and portable way to detect minuscule amounts of troublesome toxic PFAS chemicals in water samples.

At PNNL, subsurface science inhabits two separate but interlocking worlds. One looks at basic science, the other at applied science and engineering. Both are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Artificial intelligence helps researchers identify metabolites, the small molecules that underlie life.

A PNNL scientist is studying the structures of the proteins on the surface of the novel coronavirus, using NMR spectroscopy to reveal information about the molecular toolkit that holds the keys to a vaccine or treatment.

Existing techniques to detect pertechnetate in the environment have drawbacks. PNNL’s redox sensor technology uses a gold probe to accurately and efficiently measure low levels of pertechnetate—and possibly other contaminants—in groundwater

With the help of a diagnostic tool called the Salish Sea Model, researchers found that toxic contaminant hotspots in the Puget Sound are tied to localized lack of water circulation and cumulative effects from multiple sources.

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.

The researchers treated human pancreatic islets with substances produced by the body and thought to be involved in the diabetes disease process.

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.

A new drug delivery method designed by researchers at PNNL and Washington State University (WSU) has shown it can target and kill lung cancer cells.

The first phase, which started in 2014, generated foundational data from developing mouse and human lungs, created a web portal for public data sharing, and established a repository of human lung tissues.

When two powerful earthquakes rocked southern California earlier this month, officials’ attention focused, understandably, on safety. How many people were injured? Were buildings up to code? How good are we at predicting earthquakes?

Scientists have taken one of the most detailed looks ever at levels of soluble amyloid beta in the brain.
