Justin Porter, a junior from Rockford studying biological science, adjusts magnets on a laser to hyperpolarize Xenon Friday, Sept. 15, 2017, at a lab in Neckers. The element spins in two different directions and hyperpolarization involves making all the atoms spin in one direction. “If we can get to a point where we are producing the Xenon in great quantities, this can be [applied] in a hospital setting,” Porter said. “We’ll be able to help people.”

Senior physiology major Kara Starkweather, left, and Professor of Physiology Dr. Buck Hales pose for a photograph in a Life Sciences II lab Friday, Aug. 25, 2017, in Carbondale.

We understand that the major cause of ovarian cancer is the inflammation associated with ovulation, said Hales. Our goal is to turn ovarian cancer into a disease that women can live with instead of die from.
