The Board of Tutors in Biochemical Sciences has awarded the Henderson Prize for undergraduate thesis work to CPB concentrator William Stainier (‘21). Named for Harvard professor and pioneering…
The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) in 1998 was one of the most unexpected findings in the last 30 years. The Nobel-winning observations were made in C. elegans,…
RNA interference (RNAi) is a nearly ubiquitous gene silencing phenomenon triggered by introduced double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). In some animals, including the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, RNAi is systemic, which…
RNA interference (RNAi) in C. elegans is remarkably potent and efficient. It is potent because minuscule amounts of RNA silencing signals can be amplified and it is efficient…
Craig Hunter MCB 101 Human Genetics Genomic information is accelerating the discovery and characterization of the molecular and cellular basis of human health and disease. This new lecture/discussion…
Professor Craig P. Hunter Meeting Time: Tu., Th., 2:30-4 PM Location: Biolabs 2080/2082 Prerequisite: LS1bMCB 157: Developmental Genetics and Genomics is the reincarnation of MCB150 as taught by…
(L to R) Craig Hunter, Deborah McEwan, and Alexandra Weisman What if your lunch could tell your body to shut off a particular gene? This is exactly what…
(L-R)Hunter and Antony Jose A powerful way to treat genetic diseases and combat viral infections would be to turn off disease-associated genes. This can be accomplished using a…
Antony M. Jose and Craig P. Hunter Distant cells in our body talk to each other to co-ordinate what they do. Typically, one cell sends a signal that…
