The David/Beal Lab Kickball Game: The Beal Lab won the trophy back this year – but we will be looking to bring it back to its rightful home in 2018!
Nicole with Sheila at Graduation 2017: Congratulations for all of your success in earning your Ph.D., Nicole!Graduation 2017: Holly, Taylor, Sheila, and Nicole are coming up with the next big idea. Today, UC Davis…tomorrow, the world!The David Lab crashes Graduation 2017.The David Lab Interpretive Reenactment of BER: Beware of oxidative damaging agents, but luckily there are proteins around to repair the precious DNA. As in any system, a few inactive proteins can also be observed.Congratulations to Dr. Manlove as she reserves her space on the David Lab wall during her hand print ceremony!
Phil is leaving his mark in the David Lab hand print ceremony. Congratulations, Dr. Yuen!

Scientists at the University of Geneva have created the first detailed catalogue of gut bacteria at the subspecies level, unlocking powerful new ways to detect colorectal cancer. By applying machine learning to stool samples, they achieved a 90% detection rate—nearly matching colonoscopies, but with far less cost and discomfort. This breakthrough could revolutionize early cancer […]
Rogue DNA rings known as ecDNA may hold the key to cracking glioblastoma’s deadly resilience. Emerging before tumors even form, they could offer scientists a crucial early-warning system and a chance to intervene before the disease becomes untreatable.
Scientists at Harvard have discovered how salts like lithium bromide break down tough proteins such as keratin—not by attacking the proteins directly, but by altering the surrounding water structure. This breakthrough opens the door to a cleaner, more sustainable way to recycle wool, feathers, and hair into valuable materials, potentially replacing plastics and fueling new […]
Scientists from the University of St Andrews have discovered that ions in solar flares can reach scorching temperatures more than 60 million degrees—6.5 times hotter than previously believed. This breakthrough challenges decades of assumptions in solar physics and offers a surprising solution to a 50-year-old puzzle about why flare spectral lines appear broader than expected.
A strange “Einstein Cross” with an extra, impossible fifth image has revealed the hidden presence of a massive dark matter halo. An international team of astronomers, including Rutgers scientists, used powerful radio telescopes and computer modeling to confirm the invisible structure’s existence. This rare cosmic lens not only magnifies a distant galaxy but also opens […]
