Crystal growing winners visit the LMB

Pupils from The Perse School for Girls in Cambridge and Laxton Junior School in Peterborough scooped the top prizes in this year’s Eastern Region Crystal Growing Competition.
Competition participants were asked to grow the best crystal of potash alum possible, over a five-week period. The crystals were then judged, on both size and quality, to identify the winners (in the Key Stage II and III competition categories).

LMB research features in BBC2’s ‘Secret Universe’ programme

Susanna Bidgood, a researcher in Leo James’ group in the LMB’s PNAC division, helped to explain the inner workings of the human cell system, in a new, popular science programme screened on BBC2 at 8pm on Sunday 22 October.
‘Secret Universe: The Hidden Life of the Cell’ used a range of interviews with experts and dramatic computer animations to explain what happens when a viral infection takes hold and how the body works to combat infection.

Double Nobel Success – 50 Years of Inspiration

On the 18th October 1962, a Post Office Telegram was sent to Francis Crick at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, telling him that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Just two weeks later, another telegram arrived for Max Perutz and John Kendrew: they had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. For a lab to receive one Nobel Prize is rare – to receive two different Nobel Prizes in the same year is almost unique.

LMB Congratulates John Gurdon on Nobel Prize Announcement

The LMB is delighted to congratulate alumnus John Gurdon on the award of the 2012 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. John shares the award with Shinya Yamanaka, from Japan, for their quite different work (more than 40 years apart) on reprogramming somatic cells to pluripotent stem cells.
John’s key experiments on nuclear transplantations into frog oocytes were done while he was as a graduate student in the Zoology Department in Oxford, in the late 1950’s.
