Dr Ross Anderson has been awarded the 2012 IBDG Young Investigator’s Award for his impressive work on heme protein structure and mechanism, and the design of heme maquettes.
A leading cell biologist from the University of Bristol has been recognised for research excellence by EMBO — one of Europe’s most prestigious life sciences organisations.
This Easter Dr Gus Cameron and a team of volunteers from the School of Biochemistry gave hundreds of Year 12 and 13 students a taste of university life.
A key protein, which may be activated to protect nerve cells from damage during heart failure or epileptic seizure, has been found to regulate the transfer of information between nerve cells in the brain. The discovery, made by neuroscientists at the University of Bristol and published in Nature Neuroscience and PNAS, could lead to novel new therapies for stroke and epilepsy.
Dr Joe Yeeles, formerly a postgraduate student in the School of Biochemistry, has been awarded a Biochemical Society Early Career Research Award for his work on the replication and maintenance of DNA.
The one-day event brought together in total 76 researchers from three UoB Faculties (Science, Medical and Veterinary Sciences, Medicine and Dentistry) and several different Schools.
Once again March brought ‘National Science and Engineering week’ and along with it the biennial ‘Discover’, the University of Bristol’s research showcase in the Galleries shopping mall.
The University of Bristol is one of the first UK universities to receive accreditation for its undergraduate biochemistry course as part of a new scheme designed to raise the standard of bioscience higher education and tackle the bioscience skills gap.
The findings represent a major step forward in cell biology. Until now, scientists have been frustrated by not knowing the architecture of the protein transport machinery when engaged by cargo. However, the team led by researchers from the University of Bristol as part of an international collaboration, has successfully produced and visualised such a complex.
Two members from the School of Biochemsitry received a medal in recognition of 40 years service to the University.
A new, artificial protein structure has been made by a team of University of Bristol chemists, biochemists and mathematicians, a paper in Nature Chemical Biology reports this week.
A scientist at the University of Bristol has been awarded £1.3 million to unlock the secrets of miniscule algae cells that have the remarkable ability to produce silica – the fundamental constituent of glass. It is hoped the findings from the research could lead to the next generation of medical imaging tools.
Scientists have discovered how cells detect tissue damage and modify their repair properties accordingly. The findings, published today in the journal Developmental Cell, could open up new opportunities for improving tissue repair in patients following illness or surgery.
Understanding how bacteria infect cells is crucial to preventing countless human diseases. In a recent breakthrough, scientists from the University of Bristol have discovered a new approach for studying molecules within their natural environment, opening the door to understanding the complexity of how bacteria infect people.
A student at the University of Bristol has received the Chinese Government Award for demonstrating outstanding performance in her PhD studies.
Two leading medical researchers at the University of Bristol have been recognised for excellence in medical science with their election to the Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Sciences.
