Training in chemical biology at MIT enables graduate students to address problems that transcend the traditional boundaries of chemistry and biology. Chemical biologists interrogate molecular processes that occur in human, plant, and microbial cells, as well as in viruses and animals.
Researchers uncover a hidden mechanism that allows cancer to develop aggressive mutations.
Learning more about this structure could help scientists find ways to block Tau from forming tangles in the brain of Alzheimer’s patients.
The protein, known as intelectin-2, also helps to strengthen the mucus barrier lining the digestive tract.
Chemistry Graduate Student Dilyara Sharipova describes her research and answers 20 random questions as part of the Graduate Student Spotlight series.
New research suggests liver cells exposed to too much fat revert to an immature state that is more susceptible to cancer-causing mutations.
The winners were nominated by students, postdocs, faculty, and staff in recognition of their exceptional commitment to mentorship.
Chemistry Graduate Student Seth Furniss describes his research and answers 20 random questions as part of the Graduate Student Spotlight series.
