Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists knew it was a matter of time before new variants of the novel coronavirus, SARS-Cov-2, began to emerge in our communities. For a virus that mutates relatively slowly – picking up an average of two to three new mutations a month – how quickly these distinct variants took root would depend on how well we stopped the spread of the virus.…

Thousands of human diseases are caused by changes, or mutations, to the body's DNA. What if we could treat all these diseases by diving into our living cells to correct the mistakes? The Somatic Cell Genome Editing program aims to make that happen.…
A simple salad spinner will save lives this summer, if everything goes as planned by two Rice University undergraduates.
The spinner has been turned, so to speak, into a rudimentary centrifuge that medical clinics in developing countries can use to separate blood without electricity.
Lila Kerr, a Sid Richardson College sophomore, and Lauren Theis, a Wiess College freshman, will take their Sally Centrifuge abroad for testing this summer as part of Beyond Traditional Borders (BTB), Rice's…
