Link Between Ribosome Maturation and Cancer
A group of collaborative researchers, led by Alan Warren’s group at the LMB, have discovered a surprising link between human ribosome maturation and cancer. The team identified the conserved mechanism that underlies a critical step in the maturation of ribosomes and showed that this step is defective in an inherited form of bone marrow failure […]

Nobel Laureate, Sir Aaron Klug, donates his archives to Churchill Archives Centre.
One of the pioneers of structural molecular biology, Sir Aaron Klug, former Director of the LMB, has given his extensive archive to the Churchill Archives Centre, Cambridge. There it will join the archives of fellow LMB scientists and Nobel Laureates, Max Perutz and César Milstein, and the notebooks of his former colleague, Rosalind Franklin. Aaron’s […]
Eureka Moments: making proteins, making a difference

No DNA needed, RNA goes solo
“Philipp Holliger and his co-workers at LMB have engineered an RNA enzyme to synthesize another active RNA enzyme from an RNA template. This models one theory for how life originated on Earth: with RNA molecules that both encoded genetic information and catalysed reactions to express that information.” More…
