Exploring Sex Differences in Brain Development: A Path from Gene Expression to Apoptosis. Dr. Houng-Wei Tsai, CSU Long Beach

Science LIVE! turned our Hall of Science into an open house, welcoming families, alumni, and future Beach scientists for four hours of hands-on discovery. Departments across CNSM opened labs and classrooms so visitors could see science up close: astronomy on the plaza, creature encounters below ground, and everything in between.

Throughout her academic career, Dr. Thomas's research has focused on advancing the health of women and children through the study of host–pathogen interactions. Her work aims to understand the role of key bacterial proteins, known as virulence factors, during colonization of the reproductive system, particularly in pregnancy, and urinary tract infections in…

A leading authority on skunks, coyotes, and how animals adapt to an ever-changing urban environment, Biological Sciences professor Ted Stankowich is training the next generation of wildlife experts and conservationists.

Sharks @ The Beach returned to Cal State Long Beach, with opportunities to dive into marine science and connect with the researchers behind the work. Kids dove into crafts and touch tanks, while students, families and community members engaged directly with the researchers behind some of Southern California’s most exciting marine studies.

If you missed Phil this time, you can still see a timelapse of his bloom cycle!

CNSM faculty are tackling climate change head on by advancing clean energy and protecting wildlife. Their research informs policy and drives innovation while opening doors for under-resourced student researchers whose communities often are the first and hardest hit by global warming.

The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is proud of each and every one of our graduating students. Here a list of commencement awards given to our students from the graduating class of 2025.

In the ISPACE 360° Theater, visitors were guided through an immersive and interactive science experience to observe evidence of the sand dollars' adaptation to climate change and engaged in discussion on the consequences for future generations. The exhibit was a collaboration between Drs. Doug Pace (marine biology), Siavash Ahrar (biomedical engineering),…

We are proud to welcome to new faculty in our department for 2024-2025!

Biology Professor Ted Stankowich utilized 3D printing to give his students a hands-on anatomy lesson in assembling a replicated humpback whale skeleton. The 13-foot model is suspended from the ceiling of the Mammal Lab. These types of collaboration foster a sense of community and achievement for CNSM students.

The California Resources Corporation and CNSM have teamed up to create the Urban Coast Fund and support research into protecting our local coastline.
