Steve Groskreutz ’12: Analyzing a Career Path in Chemistry
Last year – by JJ Akin '11
“I wasn’t anything out of the ordinary as a first-year student,” Gustavus Adolphus College alumnus Steve Groskreutz ’12 said during a visit to campus in late August. He was in Saint Peter to install new equipment in chemistry professor Dwight Stoll’s lab.
Combining biology and physics to better understand how cell division goes awry in cancer
Last year – by Dwight Stoll
During every cell division, cells must accurately separate their genetic material into the two daughter cells. Cancer cells frequently have high levels of genome instability, and chemotherapy treatments often further increase genome instability. Dr. Laura Burrack and her students in the biology department study how changes in the cell division machinery leads to mistakes in segregation […]
Gustavus summer research students take to the Blue Earth River
