The Summer Undergraduate Research Internship (SURI) is integral in PNRI, where scientists value mentoring the next generation. This summer we proudly hosted five exceptional interns with diverse interests and career goals as they got hands-on training in our laboratories.
PNRI’s Metzger Lab and collaborators from across the globe recently launched a study investigating how a virus-like cancer spreads among basket cockles on the Pacific Coast and soft-shell clams on the Atlantic Coast.
A multimillion-dollar grant enables investigators to turn the tide on transmissible cancers in shellfish on both U.S. coasts.
The key to learning about cancer evolution in humans may be found by studying a surprising organism: the clam.
Mentorship is an integral part of science. Each summer, scientists at PNRI mentor college students as part of our eight-week Summer Undergraduate Science Internship Program.
PNRI Scientist Michael Metzger, PhD, describes his research on a rare contagious disease in clams and how some clams are adapting to be immune to it. Jason Morin, owner and winemaker at Ancestry Cellars describes phylloxera, a blight that nearly wiped out the European wine industry. Science and Wine Club, a quarterly conversation series by…
