CCLRC to play pivotal role in e-science
CCLRC (Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils) welcomes the government's announcement today that offers extra funding for e-science. The extra £5 million over three years awarded to CCLRC will enable it to drive the development of e-science as a key technology for the next generation of major scientific facilities at the... view more...

Bacteria reveal secret of adaptation at Evolution Canyon
Bacteria living on opposite sides of a canyon have evolved to cope with different temperatures by altering the make-up of their 'skin', or cell membranes. Scientists have found that bacteria change these complex and important structures to adapt to different temperatures by looking at the appearance of the bacteria as well as their genes. view more (2008-07-28)
New paradigm will help identify leads for drug discovery
A new screening approach can profile compounds in large chemical libraries more accurately and precisely than standard methods, speeding the production of data that can be used to probe biological activities and identify leads for drug discovery. view more (2006-07-25)

Special chip provides better picture of salmon health
How do you tell if a fish is fit and well? This is a question which has troubled farmers and biologists for years, but now scientists may have come up with the answer-using DNA chips. view more (2006-10-17)
UNC medical geneticist cautions against rushing into genetic testing
Just because scientific advances now allow individuals to learn their genetic make-up doesn't mean they should rush into genetic testing in hopes of making revolutionary improvements to their health, cautions a geneticist and practicing physician at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. view more (2008-06-02)
Diabetes gene raises odds of lower birth weight

More findings on gene involved in childhood asthma
Asthma researchers have found that a gene variant known to raise the risk of childhood asthma in European children plays a similar role in white American children, but not in African American children. view more (2008-09-16)
Geneticists at the American Museum of Natural History trace the evolution of St. Louis encephalitis
Before West Nile virus arrived in this country, we had (and still have) a home-grown relative of this pathogen. An epidemic of unknown origin exploded around St. Louis, Missouri in the autumn of 1933, a disease that is now known to be transmitted by mosquitoes from birds to people. view more (2008-05-16)

European drive for post-genomic research European Commission awards EUR39.4 million to three large-scale projects
In a drive to gear up research on genomics - the study of genes and their function - the European Commission has awarded EUR 39.4 million to three large research projects. The funding is a prelude to the EUR2.2 billion earmarked for "genomics research for human health" in the next Community research programme to be launched later this... view more... (2002-03-18)
The Medicine Makers - where do new drugs come from?
The emergence of new diseases, and problems with resistance to treatments for existing ones, mean that we constantly need to be looking for new medicines. This conference and exhibition from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) will highlight the role of basic biological research in opening up opportunities for new... view more...
