The fast track to success

Article Abstract:

Laura Landweber started her career as faculty at Princeton University when she was 26 years in 1994 and by the year 2000 she and her trainees published dozens of papers on diverse collection of systems related to biological computation. Taking advantage of RNA's penchant for hybridizing, and RNAse's penchant for digesting any RNA strands that do not find a partner, Landweber and her colleagues were able to isolate a set of winning molecules that describe the solution to the problem.

How bacteria talk

Article Abstract:

Bonnie Bassler, a professor at Princeton University and a MacArthur Foundation fellow is credited with discovering the ability that bacteria have to communicate across species using a small molecule called autoinducer-2 (AI-2). This simple sugar produced by microbes and several species of bioluminescent marine bacteria, allows bugs to adjust their behavior, throwing off light, spewing out toxins or forming slimy biofilms.

Biobusiness: From buckets of banana mash

Article Abstract:

Tim Keith's, chief scientific officer of Montreal-based Genizon Biosciences, main mission is to use genome-wide association studies to search for the genes involved in complex common diseases. She is very cautious while dealing with potential pharma partners and is happy in finding new disease genes that will make a difference in human health.
