Two scientists combine complementary strengths in RNA biology and aging neuron research to advance new approaches in studying ALS: Ross Buchan and Kevin Rhine are using a new effort at the University of Arizona BIO5 Institute to bring faculty and clinicians together across disciplines to better understand, and ultimately treat, ALS.

Dr. George Sutphin, associate professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, opened the Science Lectures series 2026 on February 4 with the topic of aging and the question: how long can we stay healthy?

From AP high school science classes to researching in a lab, one student has used his natural curiosity to reach new levels of success and opportunities.

Natalie Rawlings, a senior pursuing dual degrees in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Biochemistry in the Franke Honors College, exemplifies undergraduate research excellence in MCB.

A new study from researchers in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology reveals that TORC1, a protein complex long known to regulate cell growth, functions as a sophisticated central computer rather than a simple on/off switch.

From playing with frogs in the pond to researching bats in a lab, one student’s passion for science, discovery, and curiosity has never wavered.

The Galileo Circle awards scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students who demonstrate exceptional potential in the physical, mathematical, environmental, cognitive, and life sciences.
