NCCR joint publication makes it as a hot article
A joint NCCR publication between the Winssinger and the Riezman labs is selected for the 2019 Chemical Science Hot article collection!
Protein engineering brings the clinical laboratory to the patients fingertip
From Kai Johnsson’s lab at MPI Heidelberg: a fundamentally new mechanism to precisely measure metabolites using a single drop of blood. The research is published recently in Science.
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!
New powerful fluorescent biosensors for new insights into the biology of NAD(P)
New paper published in eLife describes the development of a sensor to measure NAD(P) in living cells based on the Snifit design principle.
Double-bridged peptides bind any disease target
NCCR scientists have developed a new type of “double-bridged peptide” that can be tailored to bind tightly to disease targets of interest. The work is published in Nature Chemistry.
Discover our new automated fluorescence confocal microscope
A brand new automated confocal spinning disc fluorescence microscope is now fully operational at ACCESS Geneva!
Understanding the diversity of membrane lipid composition
New article from H. Riezman lab in Nature Reviews explores how even small changes in lipid structures and in composition can have profound effects on crucial biological functions.
New mitochondria-specific photoactivation probe to monitor sphingolipid metabolism and function
A collaborative work stemming across several UNIGE departments, the EPFL and the NCCR Chemical Biology.
Tubules to stop cell growth
Nature paper by the Loewith group on new TORC1 structure in cells. Congratulations!
New health research shines a light on ‘circadian clock’ at work in our muscles
Researchers funded by the SNSF have discovered a biological clock at work in our muscle cells. It could be a factor in regulating our metabolism and play a role in diabetes.
