Receptor structure reveals new targets for cancer treatment
The Klein lab at the Yale Cancer Biology Institute have uncovered a new and unusual part of a molecule receptor known as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Combined with findings by Joseph Schlessinger’s, the work is a leap forward in opening new paths for cancer treatment
Local area school students take a “front row seat” for science
Local students have once again connected at the ‘West Campus Showcase’ for a firsthand glimpse of science in their own backyards. The events are run by trainees at West Campus with partners at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and Yale Pathways to Science
Next generation lab space boosts energy exploration at Yale’s West Campus
Science on display: A major renovation at Yale’s West Campus concluded this fall with the expansion of the Energy Sciences Institute into a single consolidated space. The planned ‘adjacency’ of scientists and resources is stimulating new ideas for renewable energy and carbon management solutions
Diana Qiu wins Packard fellowship for study of excitons
For her work in studying how matter absorbs light, Diana Qiu, assistant professor at Yale’s Energy Science Institute has won the prestigious Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering
‘Choosy’ enzymes hit pause to find genes that fit
Researchers at Yale’s Institute of Biomolecular Design and Discovery have devised a new way to measure one of the early ‘pause points’ in gene expression, when enzymes ‘choose’ which genes are turned on and off. Their findings were published today in Molecular Cell
“The ground beneath our feet, the entire globe, is electrically wired”
A new study from the Malvankar Lab at the Microbial Sciences Institute has revealed the previously hidden structure of hair-like proteins inside bacterial nanowires – effectively the molecular on-off switch for nature’s “electric grid”
