Collaborated

WORCESTER --- Last summer, Pascoag resident Sarah Williams, a member of the class of 2014, was one of 11 Assumption College students who collaborated with faculty on innovative scientific research over the summer break.  Sarah, a biology major, volunteered with Professor Dugan to determine if elafin, a protein produced by the human immune system and mucosal surfaces, can help inhibit BK virus infection.

Through this experience, the students discovered how they can apply their scientific skills to make a difference in society—and take their place as the next generation of scholars and scientists.
