Research
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
Research from the Raman Lab paves the way for scientists to explore mechanisms driving hundreds of potentially dangerous mutations in cells with a single experiment.
With Ono Initiative Grant Weeks Explores A Protein’s Diverse Purposes
Weeks is engineering tools to that will allow researchers to exploit the ways the protein ubiquitin affects the fates of other proteins.
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
Research from the Kirchdoerfer Lab identifies that multiple coronaviruses share protein features in critical viral machinery, suggesting the possibility of antivirals that treat multiple coronaviruses.
Researchers Develop Better Way to Make Painkiller from Trees
Scientists have developed a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable way to make a popular pain reliever and other valuable products from plants instead of petroleum.
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
A new, comprehensive study of the evolution of one regulatory protein reveals that how proteins evolve to gain and lose functions over time differs among classes of proteins.

Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
Researchers in the Weeks Lab developed a new toolbox for scientists studying protein cleavage sites associated with cell death and other critical cellular processes.
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
New tools developed in the Coyle Lab offer scientists an innovative way to program how molecules are organized within a cell and to explore dynamics of cellular function by harnessing patterns of movement produced by bacterial proteins.
Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
The timing of flowering can be essential to agricultural practices. Researchers in the Amasino Lab identified a gene that helps to regulate the biochemical pathway leading to flowering in grasses – a distinct, agriculturally important family of plants.
