Prof's work leads to breakthrough

By Brian Chalif | January 28, 2013

Research by biochemistry professor Henry Higgs and his research team has led to new breakthroughs into the cause of the kidney disease Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis and the neurodegenerative disease Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Higgs's lab discovered over a year ago that the INF2 protein plays a key role in the fission process of mitochondria, which led to a recent collaborative publication with researchers at Harvard Medical School about how mutations on the INF2 protein are related to the formation of the FSGS kidney disease. The disease hinders the kidney's ability to function, requiring patients to undergo a full kidney transplant. "This was part of the desert of the genome that did not have any mapped function yet," said Higgs.

Four Greek houses on probation

By Ester Cross | January 28, 2013

Tracy Wang / The Dartmouth Staff Three fraternities and one sorority are currently on probation for various social and hazing infractions, and at least one fraternity is awaiting action from the Organizational Adjudication Committee, according to representatives from the Greek system. The number of Greek houses facing disciplinary action from the College has caused some student leaders to question the effectiveness of the administration's top-down approach to working with the Greek system, according to Greek Leadership Council moderator Duncan Hall '13. Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson said that administrators and Greek Letter Organizations and Societies representatives have reached out to the GLC to work together toward a "constructive movement forward." Despite the number of Greek organizations confronting sanctions, Johnson said that the College has not changed its policies in handling violations of the College's standards of conduct. "If there are a cluster of cases involving Greek organizations now, it's more happenstance or coincidence and certainly not because we have changed our stance toward Greek organizations in any way," she said.
