NAU-TGen study results show COVID-19 virus triggers antibodies from previous coronavirus infections

Posted by Heather Tate on January 19, 2021

Jason Ladner working in labThe results of a study led by Northern Arizona University and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), an affiliate of City of Hope, suggest the immune systems of people infected with COVID-19 may rely on antibodies created during infections from earlier coronaviruses to help fight the disease.

COVID-19 isn’t humanity’s first encounter with a coronavirus, so named because… Read more

NAU biologist collaborates on computational modeling tools to help predict efficacy of cancer drugs

Posted by Heather Tate on January 4, 2021

Test tubes in containerOne of the most promising areas of human cancer research is the study of signal transduction, or cell signaling. Communication between and within cells in the body is accomplished through signal transduction, as stimuli generated in one part of an organism travels through the circulatory system and initiates a response in specific target cells. As… Read more

NAU’s Keim leads Arizona COVID-19 Genomics Union to publish findings of study tracking strains of SARS-CoV-2 in state

Posted by Heather Tate on September 15, 2020

Initial findings reported by the Arizona COVID-19 Genomics Union (ACGU) suggest that following Arizona’s first reported case of COVID-19 in late January, the state experienced no subsequent cases that went undetected and was COVID-free until at least 11 distinct incursions occurred between mid-February and early April.

The published results appear in the scientific journal mBio.

NAU researchers testing northern Arizona wastewater for early warning of COVID-19 outbreaks

Posted by Heather Tate on May 8, 2020

Crystal HeppWith the ongoing challenges associated with large-scale testing for COVID-19—including test kit shortages, stringent testing criteria and the inherent limitations of current tracking systems on mildly symptomatic and asymptomatic populations, scientists are looking for alternate methods to boost testing in order to predict the spread of the disease. Crystal Hepp, an assistant professor in NAU’s School of Informatics, Computing, and… Read more
