The protein complex mTORC1 promotes muscle growth and is important for the self-cleaning process of the muscle cells. The role of mTORC1 in skeletal muscle fibers in response to nerve injury has so far not been studied in…
"Physical approaches can be useful to explore life" How can physics help us understand life? For Zhiping Wang, who studied physics in China before joining the Master’s program in Physics of Life at the Biozentrum, biology…
Structure, function, and evolution of genome-wide regulatory networks Most projects that we pursue concern the functioning and evolution of genome-wide regulatory systems in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. The…
From the lab bench to the political stage. November 2013 Each morning he cycles to his office at the Münsterplatz in Basel. The usual business of telephone calls and writing – seen in most offices – are rare here. Instead,…
Jump in at the deep end December 2015 With her Master’s in Biochemistry still warm in her hand, market analyses, pricing strategies and product launches were already waiting for her. Gabriela Güntherodt, at that time a…
Ribosomes produce all the body’s proteins and are therefore also referred to as "protein factories". Their architecture and function have largely remained unchanged over millions of years, highlighting their importance for…
The Biozentrum start-up Aukera Therapeutics was selected to join the BaseLaunch Accelerator Program. With its qualification for this program, the biotech venture receives funding of up to 500,000 Swiss francs as well as…
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…
The issue of intestinal bacteria is a complex one. On the one hand, we are dependent on the microorganisms because they are the ones that digest the food in our intestine. On the other hand, there are also numerous pathogens…
Generative AI for modeling single-cell dynamics & response Advances in single-cell genomics have enabled the large-scale construction of organ atlases, providing unprecedented insights into cellular states and their…
