Reptiles and mammals may represent different classes in the animal kingdom, but researchers in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology have found that similar molecular changes cause both a lizard and a shrew to produce a toxin—a discovery that may shed light on similar changes that occur in other animals...
...evolve new functions? How do you go from a harmless digestive enzyme into something that’s a toxin?” said Hopi Hoekstra, an associate professor of natural sciences and one of the authors of the study. “We were particularly interested in the molecular changes that supercharge the enzyme...
Unrestricted funds raised over the past year have been used to support various initiatives including classroom reconstruction at the Graduate School of Education, new scientific equipment for the Molecular Cellular Biology Department to further human genetics research, and financial aid at the Kennedy School...
Jason E. Sandler ’12 is hunched over a toilet in Pennypacker, explaining the best way to reach every stretch of porcelain, chrome, and tile in the bathroom. He pauses to describe his summer molecular biology research that could aid in early detection of atherosclerosis, before pointing out how best to eliminate soap scum from shower walls...
...grapefruit, vanilla and saffron is a provocative, multidimensional entrée, and a sign from chef Mauro Colagreco that you are in for an extraordinary meal. The Argentina-born Italian - a Michelin star holder and voted 2009's newcomer of the year by the Gault Millau guide - eschews the molecular-style cooking that is becoming rather ubiquitous in fine dining and instead prefers earthy textures and light, simple ingredients, unexpectedly layered.
