The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has awarded an honorary doctorate to Prof. Michael N. Hall in recognition of his extraordinary scientific achievements, in particular, of his discovery of the protein kinase TOR and the…
We study the cellular organization and regulation of metabolism by large macromolecular assemblies as well as giant microbial biosynthetic assembly lines. Our research builds on hybrid use of state-of-the-art cryo electron…
Research Projects Our team is comprised of people with different training: Some team members are trained in physics or mathematics, some are trained in molecular biology, and others are trained in interdisciplinary sciences…
The Sjöberg Prize honors scientist for pioneering research in the field of cancer research. Michael Hall, Biozentrum of the University of Basel, and Prof. David M. Sabatini, are jointly awarded for their discovery of the…
Today, the BBVA Foundation announced that Prof. Michael Hall from the Biozentrum of the University of Basel and Prof. David Sabatini from the MIT, USA, have been awarded the Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the category…
The widely used anti-diabetes drug metformin not only reduces blood sugar but also has an anti-cancer effect. However, the metformin dose commonly used in the treatment of diabetes is too low to inhibit cancer growth. The…
The blood vessels form a widely ramified supply system that passes through our body from head to toe. They serve as pathways for blood cells and transport oxygen as well as nutrients into each individual organ. In the…
Proteins are the workhorses of our cells: They transport substances, digest nutrients and serve as building blocks. To perform this wide range of tasks, they must be folded correctly. This process is ensured by an arsenal of…
Throughout our body there is a dense, widely ramified network of blood vessels. It is estimated to be about 150,000 kilometers in length. The vessels supply all cells, even those in most far away regions of the body with…
Blood vessels run throughout the entire body, delivering nutrients and oxygen through the circulating blood. During vessel formation, cells first form local lumens, which then fuse to form a continuous tubular network. The…
