Our signature accomplishments on membranes and cell signaling highlighted today in Chimia
Discover some of our key accomplishments on membranes and how they impact cellular signaling. An adventure that started eleven years ago!
On the road to 100% open access publications
Along with the SNSF, the NCCR Chemical Biology goes hand in hand with the national strategy to reach 100% open access publications by 2020. In 2018, we reached nearly 50% of open access publications.
Measuring the tension of a cell with a fluorescent molecule
Hot from the press of Nature Chemistry and Nature Cell Biology. Congrats to our NCCR groups – Matile, Roux and Loewith – , who made it together!
Liver cancer: Lipid synthesis promotes tumor formation
New publication in Cancer Cell: Protein mTOR stimulates the production of lipids in liver tumors.
Selective Targeting of SH2 Domains of SFKs with Monobodies
Development of high-performance synthetic binding proteins, termed monobodies, that prove to be effectively and specifically targeted to the SH2 domains of SFKs.
Anti-cancer drug gets a boost when combined with antirheumatic
Combining an anticancer drug with an antirheumatic produces improved effects against tumors. The discovery, co-funded by the NCCR Chemical Biology, opens a new path for drug-drug synergy.
Looking back at the retreat 2016
The NCCR Chemical Biology Annual Retreat 2016 took place last June and was held, just like the previous years, at the Eurotel Victoria, Villars-sur-Ollon, in Vaud.
What exactly is Chemical Biology?
For its 10th anniversary, Nature Chemical Biology asked the question: “define chemical biology ?” to a panel of scientists.
