Roger Highfield, Science Director at the Science Museum, speaks to the LMB’s Greg Winter about his earliest scientific memories, how a road rage attack redirected his research to focus on protein engineering of antibodies and the day he found out he’d won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. More…
Greg Winter on innovation in science, his research on phage display and its therapeutic impact, and winning the Nobel Prize
Lister Institute Prize Lectures delivered at LMB
Tanmay Bharat, LMB, and Ravindra Gupta, Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Diseases, delivered lectures after receiving Lister Institute Research Prizes last year.
Redefining human brain temperature and its clinical utility
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy allowed Nina Rzechorzek (member of the O’Neill group, Cell Biology) and collaborators to create a HEATWAVE map, showing how temperatures vary in the brain across the day, between the sexes, and as we age – a healthy brain is remarkably hotter than previously assumed.

Pathway behind pathogenic mechanism of tuberculosis identified
New research from Lalita Ramakrishnan’s group, LMB Cell Biology Division and University of Cambridge Molecular Immunity Unit, has revealed the reverse electron transport pathway behind mitochondrial reactive oxygen species overproduction, contributing to tuberculosis pathogenesis.
Clinical study reveals striking daily temperature variation in the human brain that predicts survival after brain injury
A clinical study, led by Nina Rzechorzek in John O’Neill’s group at the LMB, showed that healthy human brain temperature varies far more than previously assumed—by age, sex, brain region, and time of day. This has major implications for patients, suggesting that daily rhythmic brain temperature variation is critical to brain function.
