Peruvian-Brazilian Amazon Borderlands
DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY, SUSTAINABILITY, & ENVIRONMENT

This image shows deforestation in the Southwestern Amazon.
Fluorescence Microscopy Image of Cultured Cells
DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY
Fluorescence microscopy image of cultured cells that behave like neurons (CAD cells) taken from student research conducted in the Omar Quintero-Carmona Lab. This student research group uses these cells (CAD) as a model system to understand how cells organize and transport their mitochondria. There are a number of human diseases that result when mitochondrial transport is impaired, and this group is working to understand what genes are involved in normal mitochondrial transport.
