The International Space Station

Building on novel experiments with amyloid fibrils — a type of protein aggregate associated with diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s —  a new set of experiments using serum albumins, the primary constituents of blood protein, was sent to the International Space Station (ISS) in March aboard SpaceX 27. This is the fourth time the experiment is being conducted on the ISS.

Diana Borca-Tasciuc has been awarded the Northeastern Association of Graduate Schools (NAGS) Graduate Faculty Teaching Award (Doctoral). This award recognizes excellence and creativity in the teaching of graduate students with an emphasis on pedagogy, including classroom-based and/or distance learning instruction, as well as innovation in graduate curriculum development and implementation.
