In work by Jesus Dominguez, M.D., and Katherine Kelly, M.D., of Indiana University School of Medicine, this microscopic image demonstrates that modified cells infused to treat renal failure in rats have engrafted into the kidney. The engrafted cells have been tagged with green fluorescence, and all nuclei are labeled with a blue fluorescing dye to show the tissue architecture. Credit: Indiana Center for Biological Microscopy

Scientist at Work: Axel Schulze-Halberg
This mathematical expression, called a differential operator, is used to calculate position and energy of a particle trapped inside a sphere. Who on Earth comes up with this stuff? Mathematicians like Axel Schulze-Halberg do. The Indiana University Northwest assistant professor has published more than 70 research papers dealing with mathematical physics and dynamical systems in some of the highest ranking journals in the world.

The August 2011 issue of IU Discoveries focused on Mark Goebl, an IU School of Medicine professor who hopes to have found the secret to making a yeast product that more efficiently breaks down corn and other plants into the biofuel ethanol. Also in this issue were stories about the actual domestication site of modern sunflowers; a new compound that may accelerate bone healing; soil samples that reveal urban mercury footprints; an IU chemist who was named an American Chemical Society Fellow; and the IU biologist who was selected to benefit from a $75 million plant science initiative.
