A scientist who loves to write, can do it well, and can share the excitement of the scientific pursuit is incredibly rare. Kevin Peter Hand, Deputy Project Scientist, Europa and Director of the JPL ...

Life on Earth is subjected to a 24-hour day/night cycle. Circadian systems evolved such that our physiology is synchronous with this cycle – mammals sleep during the day or night. Molecular circadian ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

A conversation with Chris Mason, Professor of Genomics, Physiology, and Biophysics at Weill Cornell Medicine, and a member of NanoString’s Scientific Advisory Board. Molecular biologists are ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern ...

What is Basic Science Research? Basic science research focuses on foundational questions that help us to better understand human biology and cancer. The Setty Lab investigates fundamental questions ...

Most biological molecules are chiral entities where their mirror images have different structures and functional characteristics. Scientists have begun synthesizing left-handed DNA and RNA and ...
