Understanding lipid composition of ant fungal gardens provides new knowledge on interkingdom communications band and also advances toward the development of microbial systems that can produce valuable compounds from plant biomass.

Night shift work disrupts the natural 24-hour rhythms in the activity of certain cancer-related genes, making workers more vulnerable to damage to their DNA.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, PNNL is offering support to its neighbors in the Mid-Columbia region and across Washington State.

E-cigarette exposure stresses and inflames the lungs of rats, compromising important quality control proteins, according to new research.

In a first-of-its-kind study, PNNL scientists are learning about how e-cigarettes can lead to changes in proteins at the molecular level that could contribute to disease or other health problems.

PNNL computational biologists, structural biologists, and analytical chemists are using their expertise to safely accelerate the design step of the COVID-19 drug discovery process.

Researchers at PNNL have developed a bacteria testing system called OmniScreen that combines biological and synthetic chemistry with machine learning to hunt down pathogens before they strike.

A zoonotic coronavirus known as SADS-CoV that has killed many pigs has the ability to infect human cells, surprising scientists.

A PNNL engineering team has designed personal protective equipment in support of COVID-19 aid.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers pioneer a new tool to represent cellular response to viral infection.

The nation’s ability to test for COVID-19 has expanded, thanks to work at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where scientists have established the performance of testing equipment to detect the virus.

Researchers from PNNL have helped colleagues at OHSU identify lipid molecules required for Zika infection in human cells. The specific lipids involved could also be a clue to why the virus primarily infects brain tissue.

Biomedical scientist Brian Thrall co-edited the issue published in the journal NanoImpact. Three of the articles in the issue include multiple PNNL authors.

By studying discrete functional components of the soil microbiome at high resolution, researchers obtained a more complete picture of soil diversity compared to analysis of the entire soil community.

Researchers trained deep neural networks to accurately predict microbial interactions captured by fluorescence microscopy.

Six months into a pandemic that has claimed more than 570,000 lives worldwide, scores of PNNL scientists are engaged in dozens of projects in the fight against COVID-19.

Researchers have developed a new technique to visualize the activity and distribution of enzymes that mobilize phosphate around plant roots.

The PNNL chemist is leading a joint effort to study circadian rhythms and the gut microbiome.

Researchers from 25 institutions around the country, including PNNL, are working to find out how exercise changes the molecular makeup of our cells to generate health benefits.

Joint appointments at UW and OSU help PNNL’s Katrina Waters further collaborations in infectious disease and toxicology research.
