Trim-Away: a new technique for depleting proteins and studying their function
Dean Clift from Leo James’ group, in collaboration with LMB alumnus Melina Schuh at the Max Planck Institute, have developed a new technique – Trim-Away – which allows proteins to be rapidly depleted from cells. By harnessing the cells’ protein degradation machinery and TRIM21, the scientists have provided a new technique for studying protein function. […]
Finding the founding fathers of molecular biology – a blog post by LMB PhD student, Lisa Strittmatter
Lisa Strittmatter, PhD student in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division, explores a recent talk given at the LMB by Professor Sir John Meurig Thomas, and the light it sheds on the key scientists involved in the origins of molecular biology. More…
Brain research in the third dimension
Madeline Lancaster, cell biologist at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, has developed a technique allowing her to create mini brains from cell cultures. These incredible organoids, no larger than the eraser at the end of a pencil, serve as a model for Madeline’s research into early human brain development and are enabling […]
