In this Front Row lecture, Assistant Professor Michael Erb will share his research applying chemical tools to study how chromatin, a molecular machine that plays a key role in transcription, becomes disrupted in cancer. He will discuss his research developing small molecule drugs targeting these genetic malfunctions.

An unexpected application of CRISPR-Cas9: creating a musical masterpiece. Acapella Science bring us a "Mr Sandman" parody exploring genome editing.

It seems to be an established fact that background can't be avoided. Or is this a myth that now ought to be busted?

High capacity is not always a good thing. When we say capacity is crucial, we are typically talking about the antigen-binding capacity. Watch the video to learn why.

Scripps Research chemist Matthew Disney, Ph.D., and colleagues have created drug-like compounds that, in human cell studies, bind and destroy the pandemic coronavirus’ so-called “frameshifting element” to stop the virus from replicating.

EPFL scientists have observed – for the first time in living cells – the way mitochondria distribute their transcriptome throughout the cell, and it involves RNA granules that turn out to be highly fluid.

What do we mean by "open access" when it comes to scientific research? What are the benefits and drawbacks? How have attitudes towards publishing open access changed during the COVID-19 global pandemic? Dr Norman Van Rjihn discusses each of these points for Teach Me in 10.

The most common form of muscular dystrophy is called Duchenne. The disease is caused by a faulty gene that interferes with how muscle cells produce a protein called dystrophin. It’s part of a vital protein complex that works to strengthen and protect muscle fibers.

Spiderman and CRISPR-Taming Chemist Amit Choudhary both tell us that "with great power comes great responsibility". In Amit's case, he speaks of power and responsibility with CRISPR gene editing technology.

In this video, Dr Britt Glaunsinger discusses the molecular biology of coronavirus infection.
