University of California, Irvine - Center for Complex Biological Systems

Mon, 04 Nov 2013 17:10:29 -0600

The University of California Irvine's Center for Complex Biological Systems got its start just as there was a revolution in biology. Systems Biology requires that scientists work across many disciplines including engineering, physics and mathematics. The Center specializes in helping form the kinds of teams that will propel biological research into the future. It is also proud to be able to train students in the new interdisciplinary approach. http://ccbs.uci.edu

CHARLES SWANTON LAB

Tue, 11 Dec 2018 08:09:22 -0600

They are using the latest DNA sequencing technology to read the genetic makeup of cancer cells within tumours in ever greater detail, teasing out patterns of evolution (evolutionary rule books), cancer heterogeneity and working out what changes have happened as a tumour evolves. We’re also investigating the processes that cause mutations and accelerate tumour evolution and working out how they might be stopped. And we are running evolutionary clinical trials with immune and targeted therapies to bring the benefits of our work to patients as quickly as possible.

Scientists map 17,294 proteins produced in human body

Jit — Thu, 29 May 2014 01:57:55 -0500

Indian scientists missed the genomic profiling bus, but they've more than made up for it by creating the first human proteome map which is an extension of the genomic study. Till now, here is no direct equivalent for the human proteome. But recently two groups present mass spectrometry-based analysis of human tissues, body fluids and cells mapping the large majority of the human proteome.

The Indian scientists working in Bangalore, along with their American counterparts, have mapped more than 17,000 proteins in 30 organs of the human body. Just like the human genome was sequenced around the turn of the millennium, this is an equivalent mapping of the human proteome.

The researcher estimated there are around 20,500 proteins in the human body. These scientists have profiled around 17,294, which account for around 84% of the total proteins. Apart from this, the team also traced around 2,500 of 3,000 proteins that had been categorised as "missing proteins".

The work, done by group of Indian scientists, and Johns Hopkins University, published in the renowned journal Nature ( http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v509/n7502/full/nature13302.html ). Of the 72 people who worked on the project, 46 are Indians.

Gupta Lab

Sun, 15 Sep 2013 09:31:24 -0500

Gupta laboratory of Natural Information Processing at DA-IICT. Research in our lab currently focuses on two aspects of information processing viz. deciphering the information processing principles in life (systems biology) and making a computer out of bio-molecules. The key expertise of the lab is in error-correcting codes. We also work in classical and quantum information processing principles with expertise in coding theory and its wide variety of applications in Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

How to sequence the human genome - Mark J. Kiel

Fri, 30 May 2014 13:24:11 -0500

View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-to-sequence-the-human-genome-mark-j-kiel Your genome, every human's genome, consists of a unique DNA sequence of A's, T's, C's and G's that tell your cells how to operate. Thanks to technological advances, scientists are now able to know the sequence of letters that makes up an individual genome relatively quickly and inexpensively. Mark J. Kiel takes an in-depth look at the science behind the sequence. Lesson by Mark J. Kiel, animation by Marc Christoforidis.

Gamper Lab

Fri, 26 Mar 2021 07:45:02 -0500

Lab focuses on examining the mechanisms governing the signalling pathways from DNA damage sensing to the activation of stress-response genes. The long-term goal is to find proteins that are drug targets for cancer treatment (such as radiosensitizers for radiation therapy) or biomarkers that increase the predictive value of therapeutic outcome.
