Reducing Food Waste with Traditional Techniques
Former Biosciences postdoctoral researcher and chef Vayu Hill-Maini’s emerging work on Neurospora, a type of fungus, explores a revolutionary approach to addressing food waste through sustainable fermentation practices. Neurospora mold thrives on food waste such as leftover grains, oat milk pulp, and peanut oil pressings, turning them into edible, nutrient-rich food. This fungus, traditionally used … Read more »
A New Genetic Hallmark for Predicting Breast Cancer Outcomes
Biosciences researchers have used Collaborative Cross mice, a mouse model system designed to mimic the diversity of human populations, to identify a set of genetic factors that could help refine treatment approaches for a fast-growing form of breast cancer.
