Mizzou team develops system that detects cancerous mutations in a single molecule
A Mizzou research team has developed a two-part system that accurately detects cancerous mutations in a single molecule of genetic material (DNA). But wait, there’s more. Biomedical and Biological Engineering Professor Li-Qun “Andrew” Gu and his collaborators also believe his nanopore machine could have the ability to read digital data stored on DNA. The team recently filed a patent for the work. This drawing depicts the nano device system. In the medical application, researchers devised a more accurate way to detect molecular mutations by capturing individual genetic markers. This can help doctors not only predict cancer…

150 Years of Mizzou Engineering: 1946-1967
Huber O. Croft served as Dean for 13 years, during which time he oversaw construction, the creation of the Missouri Honor Awards and suggested a nuclear research reactor be built on campus. Our look back at Mizzou Engineering’s history continues this month during the 1946-47 school year. When we left off, Dean Harry Curtis was juggling an unusually large student body and a shortage of faculty and supplies. Enrollment exceeded 1,200 in the fall of that year, forcing the College to hold courses in the early morning hours into the evening. In 1948, enrollment peaked at 1,500 students, many of…
