Sir Aaron Klug. 11 August 1926 – 20 November 2018
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 […]

Melina Schuh’s research highlight on Medical Xpress
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, […]
