      NIH award supports research into how proteins repair cell DNA

      by Jon Caroulis
      May 31
      Carol Manhart, assistant professor of chemistry at Temple University, has earned a five-year National Institutes of Health (NIH) Maximizing Investigators Research Award to study how proteins repair DNA in cells. Unrepaired DNA can lead to diseases in humans such as cancer.    "DNA repair is a naturally occurring process in organisms," said Manhart. "In humans, DNA repair operates, in part, to prevent disease such as cancer. In turn, when DNA repair proteins fail to do their jobs, diseases can develop, such as Lynch syndrome, an inherited disorder...

      Temple University recent graduate Gabrielle Widjaja never expected to be involved in the type of research she has undertaken with the Temple Ambler Field Station."Certainly, no one expected a tornado to hit the Ambler Campus. I think what is amazing is that the Field Station has taken this extremely difficult circumstance and opened up entirely new research opportunities," said Widjaja, who graduated from Temple with a degree in Biochemistry, a major offer by Temple's College of Science and Technology. "You have to adapt to what you are given. Even in the lab, most experiments...

      The Temple Ambler Field Station is finding research and educational opportunities in the aftermath of an EF-2 tornado. "The tornado provided a unique opportunity to study and teach lessons on the effects of climate change and the recovery of the forests right at our doorstep," says Amy Freestone, professor of biology at the College of Science and Technology.   About 1,100 trees were either uprooted or damaged from the destructive climate-driven disturbance of the tornado. Some of the Temple Forest Observatory's biggest trees—a 140.6 cm in diameter tulip...

      Chair's message This fall, I am teaching a First Year Seminar to 20 CST undergraduates and a weekly seminar to the Chemistry Department first-year graduate students. We're all new to what we're doing: the undergrads to college with all that entails; the grad students to being teaching assistants, taking graduate classes and choosing a research group; and me to being department chair. We're all excited about the future and just a little nervous. The outgoing chair, Dan Strongin, led our department through incredibly challenging times, including COVID (which unfortunately...
