Hands-on and fearless: How Macie Phillips found her place in marine science

For Macie Phillips, choosing the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Georgia felt like destiny. As the youngest of four siblings who graduated from UGA, she was ready to complete the family tradition. But it was the university’s marine science program that truly sealed the deal. As a Double Dawg in ocean sciences and ecology, Phillips took advantage of the many multidisciplinary opportunities available through Franklin.…

Amazing student: Sam Tingle

Foundation Fellow Sam Tingle has been able to learn around the world — from the South Pacific to Malaysia to the Greek Island of Lesvos — but has also immersed himself in academics and activities on campus: Current employment:  I am currently working with NASA doing research through a NASA DEVELOP node here at UGA. This semester, I am working on a team that is using imagery from NASA satellites to assess threats to river water quality and…

New research uncovers mechanism behind defective cilia

Through extraordinary imaging techniques and refined laboratory practices with a model organism, a UGA research team has published new evidence about the assembly of cell organelles in the human body: Defective cilia can lead to a host of diseases and conditions in the human body—from rare, inherited bone malformations to blindness, male infertility, kidney disease and obesity.  ...   a new study from University of Georgia cellular…

New Imaging capabilities reported in study from cell biologists

Polycystic kidney disease is one of the most common life-threatening genetic diseases, affecting an estimated 12.5 million people worldwide, and but one of multiple conditions researchers have connected to defective cilia. UGA researchers recenty published a study describing how cilia are constructed, findings based on new protein-level observations: Led by Karl Lechtreck, assistant professor in the department of cellular biology, a team of…
