Physics professors pioneer method to study untreatable strains of hepatitis C virus

Physics professors Mohammad Yousef and Edward Ackad

Physics professors Mohammad Yousef and Edward Ackad developed a method to predict the behavior of the Egyptian strain of hepatitis C virus, which has no known cure.
By studying the American genotype, they built a 3-D structural model that could lead to advances in medicine and, ultimately, a cure. Their […]

Dr. Yousef visits Canadian Light Source, Inc.

Over spring break, Mohammad Yousef, assistant professor of SIUE’s College of Arts and Sciences physics department caught some rays. Not being one to follow convention, Yousef did not head for Florida or Cancun but rather headed to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to visit Canadian Light Source, Inc. (CLS)
CLS provides “supermicroscopes” which allow nano-scale objects to be seen with atomic […]
