The objectives of the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) "AntiResist" are to search for new antibiotics and to develop alternative strategies to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens. "AntiResist" is one of a…
Genetic information is protected in the cell nucleus by a membrane that contains numerous nuclear pores. These pores facilitate the traffic of proteins known as importins that deliver molecular cargoes between the nucleus…
The kick off for this year’s “Biozentrum Lectures” series will be presented by the distinguished developmental biologist and Nobel laureate Prof. Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard from the Max Planck Institute for Developmental…
The cell and developmental biologist Prof. Alex Schier, from the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, has been recognized for his work on embryonic development, in particular, for establishing and applying genetic and…
With this award, the Charles Rodolphe Brupbacher Foundation honors Prof. Michael N. Hall's outstanding basic research which led to the discovery of the protein Target of Rapamycin, or TOR for short. TOR controls cell growth…
Silvia Arber, Professor at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel and the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI) as well as Prof. Alex Schier, Director of the Biozentrum of the University of Basel,…
The arms and legs tremble incessantly, the muscles become weaker and the movements slower − these are typical symptoms that many Parkinson's patients suffer from. More than six million people are affected worldwide. In these…
The protein complex mTORC2 plays a crucial role in the regulation of cellular metabolism. It stimulates, for example, the production of lipids and fatty acids, but it also controls carbohydrate metabolism. In the past,…
Young scientists make a major contribution to research: They are the foundation, innovative force and future of universities and research institutions. Almost half of the staff at the Biozentrum are PhD students and…
In order to combat diseases, different therapies strive to intervene in pathological processes that occur in the cell nucleus. Chemotherapies, for example, target biochemical reactions that are involved in the proliferation…
