into an essential tool for the diagnosis of human disease. Over the past two decades advances in biochemistry, physiology, genetics, physics, and engineering have converged to produce detailed anatomic and functional, physiologic imaging of disease at increasingly greater levels of detail and specificity.   The advancements in medical imaging are leading to earlier detection of disease, when many disease are usually more easily treated and there is greater chance for cure; development of minimally

on the student term-based record as ST: followed by the specific title designated by the academic unit. (1 to 4) MATH 422 : Mathematical Modeling This course introduces students to mathematical modeling of various problems in biology, environmental science, and physics using curve fitting, difference and differential equations, simulations, discrete probabilistic models, and other methods. In addition to mathematical techniques, the formulation and analysis of models and the interpretation of

Internships and Research Experiences in Physics Internships and Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) are an excellent way to apply the material you are learning in your physics and engineering courses outside of the classroom! Internships generally refer to a position in a company or business. Internships may be paid or unpaid, and there may be opportunities to apply your experience towards PLU credit. Consult with the Physics Department chair for more information. Check out the

Dave Song Research GroupResearch in the Song lab centers on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of energy conversion in chemistry and biology. Our primary focus revolves around the transfer of both the proton and electron in biological catalysis via a ubiquitous mechanism called proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), underpinning key metabolic processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and nucleotide reduction. The mechanistic complexities associated with the inherently dual particle
