Top Researchers to Present Integrated Approaches to Disease Research, Drug Development.
Stony Brook University challenges scientists to answer 11 year-olds’ next question; International contest seeks more effective ways to communicate science to the public.
Despite widespread fascination with sharks, the world’s oldest ocean predators have long been a genetic mystery. The first deep dive into a great white shark’s genetic code has fished up big surprises behind a design so effective it has barely changed since before dinosaurs roamed.
Richard Martel and his research team at the Department of Chemistry of the Université de Montréal have discovered a method to improve detection of the infinitely small. Their discovery is presented in the November 24 online edition of the journal Nature Photonics.
Two exceptional research images captured at Indiana University’s Light Microscopy Imaging Center are among the 15 finalists in the international GE Healthcare Life Sciences 2013 Cell Imaging Competition. The IU center won the competition last year with an image of a dividing mammalian cell and could do so again if enough votes from scientists and the public are cast online by the Dec. 20 competition deadline.
UCSF Researchers Use Innovative Approach to Yield Images of TRPV1 with Unprecedented Clarity.
In the early 1990s, when Wallace H. Coulter – legendary scientist and inventor of a device to rapidly count cells – was elected as a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), he was unable to attend the meeting to accept the nomination. Rather than mail the award to him, Georgia Tech’s Robert Nerem, who was AIMBE’s president at the time, hopped on a plane from Atlanta and flew to Miami to present Coulter with the award in person.
CfA study finds tablets make perfect platform for 3-D simulations.
Stanford University researchers have received Bio-X funding to develop a tiny moving probe to study the mechanical properties of sensory cells in the ear. Their research could lead to new treatments for hearing loss, and the probe may advance other scientists’ research as well.
