The discovery by UMD researchers suggests “functional mosaicism” could explain some antibiotic resistance and cancer relapse.
UMD researchers discovered that telomerase, which “immortalizes” cancer cells, also prevents tumors and slows a key stage in normal cell death.
Accessible to all UMD researchers, students and collaborators, the new microscope will provide higher resolution and more speed while being gentler on live samples.
University of Maryland researchers discovered one enzyme’s vital role in breaking down RNA is more specific than previously thought, revising a vital cellular process misunderstood since the 1960s.
Congratulations to the almost 2,500 Spring 2019 semester Dean's List awardees from the University of Maryland College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences.
UMD Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics researcher Daniel Damineli helped find previously unknown “beats” in a star system in collaboration with his father, astronomer Augusto Damineli.
Congratulations to all of the awardees!
The College hosted its annual Academic Festival on May 3, 2019 to honor faculty, staff and students.
Ten stories—one from each of our departments—highlight some of the most exciting scientific discoveries made by faculty members in the college during the last half-century.
When a UMD researcher was asked to comment on an important finding, he turned to a staff member in the college’s dean’s office for a humorous illustration to liven up his message.
