DISCOVERY

Where Scientific Curiosity Meets Purpose

At the College of Arts & Sciences, science isn't confined to a textbook. It lives in our labs, field sites, and collaborative research spaces. Driven by passionate curiosity and a commitment to meaningful impact, our faculty and students explore the fundamental questions shaping our world. From hands-on undergraduate research to community outreach, discovery starts here.

Targeting Cancer at the Molecular Level

In a dynamic collaboration bridging Biology and Chemistry & Biochemistry, Gonzaga researchers and students are tackling one of the greatest challenges in modern science: understanding and disrupting cancer at the cellular level. This ongoing initiative brings undergraduate scientists directly into the lab—analyzing molecular pathways, testing novel compounds, and contributing to the future of cancer therapeutics. Full initiative details and story features coming soon.
