Aaron Klug made outstanding contributions to the development of structural molecular biology. An early interest in viruses prompted him to think deeply about extracting the information contained in electron micrographs. As a result, he proposed a method for making 3D maps of biological specimens from the projected images given by micrographs. For this development and […]

Piotr Szwedziak, a former PhD student and post-doctoral researcher in Jan Löwe’s group, has received an EMBO Installation Grant to establish an independent laboratory and joins the EMBO Young Investigator Network. More…

Melina’s work on mechanisms of chromosome segregation in mammalian oocytes has advanced our understanding the process of meiosis and the causes of aneuploidy in mammalian eggs, including humans. The project, led by Melina, set out to discover why genetic faults affect such a high proportion of ageing human eggs, or oocytes, resulting in pregnancy loss, […]

A former PhD student from Greg Jefferis’ group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division, Johannes, is researching the neural circuitry behind instinct. In this feature, he illustrates his journey from his undergraduate days to his PhD at the LMB to the establishment of his own lab at the Francis Crick Institute in London this January. Johannes […]

This award endowed by NIH Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program Co-Founder, Michael Lenardo, was given to Nicholas in recognition of his PhD work conducted in Wanda Kukulski’s lab at the LMB. His work implemented novel imaging techniques in an effort to better understand how a cell dies, and pushed the limits of cellular imaging. More…
