Cambridge Biochemistry

Congratulations to the @HyvonenGroup on its celebration of 25 years this week by 40 alumni! Since 2001 it has welcomed 21 Postdocs, 8 Research assistants, 15 PhDs, 6 Visiting PhDs, 9 MScs and 46 Undergrads and contributed over 90 publications. Read more: bioc.cam.ac.uk/news/hyvonen-g…

Meet Prof. @ClaudiaBonfio from @CamBiochem Her research group has a very challenging goal: understanding how #protocells emerged from non-living matter 🧬 bonfiolab.eu @SocChimIta @SCIorganica @SciGiovani @EuChemS

The Patil group is part of a new collaboration that aims to understand how changes to our gut microbiome in early life impact neurodevelopment. The project is part of Wellcome LEAP's Foundation Of a Resilient Microbiome (FORM) initiative Read more: mrc-tox.cam.ac.uk/news/research-…

RNA enthusiasts, clear your schedules! Our next RNA Club is happening TOMORROW ,29th April, at 16:30. Join us on Zoom. We’re diving deep into the latest research with two incredible speakers: Zhipeng Lu ( @_zhipeng_lu )& Róża Przanowska( @RPrzanowska ) @CamBiochem

Happy World DNA Day 🧬 The Eagle, owned by @CorpusCambridge for over 500 years, is known as the place where James Watson and Francis Crick rushed from the nearby @DeptofPhysics to share news of their DNA discovery. Today, a plaque outside marks the moment, and has become a must-see stop for visitors. The current plaque actually replaced an earlier version, which did not acknowledge the wider team behind the discovery, most notably Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Chris Howe, President of Corpus Christi College, explores DNA Day, graffiti, and some of the often-overlooked stories behind the science.

This position is closing soon with the Patil Group.

Researchers in the Patil lab found that co-culturing bacteria profoundly alters each species' behavior. As the gut microbiome affects our health, understanding these interactions helps show how it responds to challenges (e.g. drugs) Read the full story: buff.ly/dZ42Vnx
