In-Hyun Park gets at the genetic roots of Rett syndrome using iPS cells.

Anne Carpenter received her PhD in cell and developmental biology from Illinois in 2003 (under the name Anne Nye).

Susan Lindquist, a molecular biologist whose conceptually daring work with yeast proteins opened new avenues to understanding gene functioning and degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, died on Thursday in Boston. She was 67.

With the goal of providing a ready supply of vessels, Laura Niklason created a prototype engineered blood vessel in 1997, and in 2012 an advanced version was used successfully in the first human patient. The FDA has fast-tracked the engineered blood vessel, moving it into Phase 3 human clinical...

Frank continues to visit the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology and to lend his support and expertise. “The Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology is a small, but strong department, that is central to the research and educational missions of the School of MCB and the...

Spudich has made his mark with pioneering discoveries on molecular motors—the tiny powerhouses responsible for movement at the cellular level. For this research, he has won a 2016 Alumni Achievement Award—one in a long line of honors. He also won the prestigious Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research...

"Do something that means something to you; that you are passionate about."

The Department of Biochemistry and the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology congratulate Professor David Shapiro, who has been named the Eugene Howe Scholar in Biochemistry.

MCB wishes to thank our inspiring alumni speaker, Dr. Tamara Helfer, for celebrating the graduation of the class of 2015 with her commencement address.

Sodium ions (Na+) play diverse and important roles in biological processes, and yet few sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity for Na+ over other competing metal ions have been reported. In this study, the authors reported the first highly selective, sensitive, and efficient Na+-specific...
