From genome to therapy: integrating new technologies with drug development
The sequencing of human and other genomes has accelerated dramatically in recent years due, in large part, to the continuous development of increasingly powerful sequencing technologies. Indeed, complete genomes have now been sequenced, a feat unthinkable only a decade ago. We are entering an era in which the emphasis must now be on strategies to... view more... (1999-05-27)
Getting to grips with the complexity of disease proteins
Drug molecules seldom act simply on one protein but on protein complexes and networks. A deeper understanding of these 'cooperative assemblies' should lead to better targeting of drugs. view more (2008-10-21)
Getting to the bottom of the burger bug - Microbiology Today August 2004 issue
Eradicating deadly E. coli O157:H7 from the bottoms of cows may prevent future outbreaks of food poisoning by this famous bug. According to an article in the August 2004 issue Microbiology Today, the quarterly magazine of the Society for General Microbiology, the majority of people with E. coli O157:H7, picked up the infection from cattle, either... view more...

E. coli waves the Blue Flag for our beaches - Microbiology Today August 2004 issue
E. coli, the bug made famous by food poisoning outbreaks, can be used to point the finger of blame at the right culprit when our waterways become polluted. E. coli live in the guts of animals and are already used to indicate whether food and water are contaminated with faecal material. However, according to a recent article in the August 2004... view more... (2004-07-27)
