WSU is among the first public universities in the nation to put its online campus into the same chancellor-level leadership structure as traditional physical campuses.

A WSU researcher is part of a $4 million effort to develop a better way to produce taxol, an anti‑cancer chemotherapy drug that was discovered in the bark of Pacific Yew trees.

The WSU scientists were able to determine with 93 to 99 percent accuracy the presence of antibiotic-resistant genes in three different types of bacteria.

The research, which is being conducted at WSU Tri-Cities, has the potential of being used at contaminated sites around the world.

Funded by the Department of Defense, the research is spurred by concerns about annual wasp invasions of air traffic control towers at military airstrips across the southern U.S.

Students would first learn about keeping people healthy before moving on to treating illness under the proposed change, which has been approved by the faculty governance organization and now must be considered by the Faculty Senate.

The future of the campus includes a virtual hospital and an expanded capacity to conduct clinical research in further serving the Pacific Northwest region’s health needs.
