    What can and should genetic technologies be used for?

  • Projects funded in 2020

    The Sci-seedlets team is an eclectic mix of plant scientists from the University of Glasgow specialising in plant cell-biology, plant physiology cell and engineering, computer scientists specialising in ... Sci-seedlets will provide easy-to-access

    Valuing diversity as a scientist

    My journey. As an undergraduate at UC Berkeley, I discovered my love for cell biology while working in a research laboratory. ... Collectively, invested mentors, inclusive laboratory environments, and having role models were key to my decision to persist

    Adult stem cells could treat tooth loss

    Pioneering techniques aiming to grow new teeth from a patient’s own stem cells will be on display at the Royal Society’s Summer Science Exhibition this week. Bioengineered stem cell teeth could challenge the use of artificial dental implants.

    Time-keeping and decision-making in living cells

    Living cells are remarkably effective data-processing systems that receive information from outside and inside the cell, integrate concurring and conflicting signals, figure out an appropriate response, and implement the decision. ... For example, stem

    Ptychography over all wavelengths

    They also characterize cell growth via longitudinal dry mass measurement and perform rapid bacterial detection at low concentrations. ... For drug-screening application, they demonstrate antibiotic susceptibility testing and perform single-cell analysis

    Projects funded in 2017

    This discovery stems from the measurement of handedness along a continuum using a tool called the pegboard test. ... I focus on a subset of genes that code for calcium channels, which influence signalling within cells.

    Science in the interests of justice

    Sensitivity of detection has increased substantially over the years, such that only a few cells' worth of DNA can be sufficient to obtain interpretable data.

    Outstanding researchers honoured by the Royal Society

    The Rosalind Franklin Award is awarded annually to those who raise the profile of women in STEM in their host institution and/or field of expertise in the UK. ... Francis Crick Medal and Lecture. Dr Miratul Muqit. In recognition of his research on cell

    Innovating agriculture

    These include recent work evaluating re-emergence of wheat stem rust in the UK and development of pioneering techniques in pathogen surveillance; the revolutionary “field pathogenomics” and “MARPLE diagnostics” techniques, where
