Whitworth University is honored to welcome distinguished scientist and former director of the National Institutes of Health Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D., as the featured speaker for the fall President’s Leadership Forum. His address titled, “The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith and Trust,” the same title as his latest book, will take place at 7 p.m. on Oct. 2 at the Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox, followed by a question-and-answer session with Whitworth President Scott McQuilkin.
An innovative research project led by Whitworth University Professor of Chemistry Deanna Ojennus, Ph.D., may provide new insights into gluten-related disorders such as celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). The project is supported by a nearly $70,000 grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust.
