In June 2019, Christopher Lima was named Chair of the Structural Biology Program in the Sloan Kettering Institute. In this Q&A, Dr. Lima talks about the roles of technology and collaboration in ...

The Department of Biological Sciences treats the life sciences in all their breadth and diversity, including the study of molecules, cells, whole organisms, ecosystems, plants, animals and ...

Researchers have developed a method for identifying small molecules that bind metal ions. Metal ions are essential in biology. But identifying which molecules—and especially which small ...

The vast majority of the things we see, touch and use in our everyday lives are derived from petroleum, which provides the chemical building blocks for countless consumer staples. We have, however, ...

Researchers create transistors combining silicon with biological silk, using common microprocessor manufacturing methods. The silk protein can be easily modified with other chemical and biological ...

It is surely time for water to take up its rightful position as the most important and active of all biological molecules, and leave behind the perception that its influence is inconsequential and its ...

If you learned about biology and quantum mechanics in the same course, it was probably in the form of two unrelated chapters in different parts of the syllabus in something like an integrated science ...

Single-molecule detection is one of the fundamental challenges of modern biology. Such experiments often use labels that can be expensive, difficult to produce, and for small analytes, might perturb ...
