THE 2023-2024 CLUB YEAR MARKS TWO SIGNIFICANT BENCHMARKS FOR THE CLUB:

Stay tuned for more as we hope that you will join us by celebrating these milestones.

DENVER DOMER SPOTLIGHTS

Next week, we will be shining our Denver Club spotlight on David Bruton, Jr. '09.

Our fellow Notre Dame Club of Member, David Bruton, Jr. ‘09 is not only a Notre Dame and Denver Bronco football legend, but one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet!

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have received $2.9 million to develop a new diagnostic platform that could diagnose cancer in as little as three hours by using only one or two drops of blood.

With the award from the National Institutes of Health, the research team aims to integrate a suite of micro- or nanofluidic technologies that will improve the analysis of extracellular RNA (exRNA), which are molecules critical to disease development. The role of exRNA is to carry information about cellular makeup. Therefore, the release of exRNA from tumor cells may offer important details such as tumor type and size. The new diagnostic platform will aim to separate nanoparticle carriers from their exRNAs and to identify the different carriers of exRNA, in order to decipher the “information” these exRNAs carry and pinpoint their cell origin.

The affectionate lyrics of “Notre Dame, Our Mother” stir the hearts of Notre Dame fans all over the world. But does the University’s official alma mater still resonate in a different language? Especially a dead language?
