Cell Biology: a branch of biology that studies the different structures and functions of the cell and focuses mainly on the idea of the cell as the basic unit of life. Cell biology explains the structure, organization of the organelles they contain, their physiological properties, metabolic processes, Signaling pathways, life cycle, and interactions with their environment. This is done both on a microscopic and molecular level as it encompasses prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

The RNA-guided nuclease Cas9 from the microbial CRISPR adaptive immune system has emerged as an exciting tool for precise genome editing in eukaryotic cells. This presentation will discuss th...
This presentation will focus on NuMediis general approach towards the discovery of new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. While the business models for repurposing marketed drugs versus rep...
Heptares Therapeutics is a structure based drug discovery and development company which uses it StaR technology to enable X-ray structures, fragment screening and other biophysical techniques...
Target selection is arguably the most important decision in all drug discovery and development activities. No amount of great science can overcome the selection of the wrong target. The rapid...
Gene therapy for two forms of inherited retinal degeneration have met promising safety and efficacy endpoints in early stage clinical trials. These approaches made use of a replication defect...
Understanding how genes coordinate their expression across cells in a growing embryo can provide insights into the transcriptional programs that control development. Intercellular variability...
High-throughput short-read DNA sequencing has revolutionized our ability to measure genetic variation in the form of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in human genomes. However, ~75% of...
In 2010, our team of synthetic biologists announced the creation of a bacterial cell that had a chemically synthesized genome. To build this synthetic Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI 1.0 we had to d...
