Looking at slides of blood cells, fecal matter and urine has taken on an entirely different perspective this school year thanks to new state-of-the-art equipment in the medical laboratory science lab at South Dakota State University.
In July, the program received 28 microscopes and an innovative slide scanner as part of a $750,000 award from the South Dakota Department of Health, which was handling workforce development funds from the Centers for Disease Control, according to April Nelsen, the medical lab science clinical coordinator who put a proposal together for the health department.
South Dakota State University professor Xijin Ge has received a $1.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to enhance ShinyGO, a widely used bioinformatics website for analyzing genomics data.
As a Davis-Bahcall Scholar, current South Dakota State University freshman Mackenzie Hollenbeck traveled more than 5,000 miles this summer going to some of the top science centers in the world.
But the one that really grabbed her heart was only a little more than 100 miles from her family’s Edgemont ranch. The biology major was among eight South Dakota students who were chosen to participate in the Davis-Bahcall Scholars Program, which is designed to help rising university freshmen and sophomores entering science, technology, engineering and math fields develop an understanding of where their passions could take them.
Mohammed Teymouri, assistant professor of construction management in South Dakota State University's Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering, is working to solve one of the most pressing issues in the construction industry: how to lower carbon emissions of concrete.
The Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead is at the forefront of research in physics, geology, biology, engineering and more.

Retired NorthWestern Energy general manager Mike Sydow has been awarded the 2024 Wayne E. Knabach Excellence in Power Award.
The award is given by the Center for Power Systems Studies, a group of utilities and electrical firms that work with the electrical engineering department at South Dakota State University to promote the industry through and to students and faculty. The Knabach Award is a lifetime achievement award named for a longtime electrical engineering professor.
Sydow, a 1978 electrical engineering graduate from ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ who spent his entire career with NorthWestern Energy, received the award at the center’s annual banquet Sept. 30.
South Dakota State University recently paid tribute to the university’s newest endowment holders. The third annual University Leadership Honors investiture ceremony — honoring six holders of endowed positions across three different colleges and ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ Athletics — was held Sept. 19 in Founders Recital Hall in the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center.
