DZIF scientists have shown that molecular diagnostic tests for the Zika virus in Brazil are not always reliable. Almost two thirds of all laboratories showed false-positive or false-negative results.

Johns Hopkins researchers have invented a new class of cancer immunotherapy drugs that are more effective at harnessing the power of the immune system to fight cancer. This new approach results in a significant decrease of tumor growth.

Gladstone scientists identify genes that enable adult cells to divide and multiply.

Researchers at McGill University have invented a new technique for measuring how quickly drugs interact with their molecular targets. The discovery provides scientists with a new way to investigate the effectiveness of drug candidates that might otherwise have been overlooked.

SMi’s 2nd Annual Pharmaceutical Microbiology West Coast Conference will be taking place in San Diego, USA on the 7th - 8th June 2018.

Scientists used a technology designed for the purposes of human forensics, to provide the first genetically documented case of infanticide in brown bears, following the murder of a female and her two cubs in Trentino, the Italian Alps, where a small re-introduced population has been genetically monitored for already 20 years.

Genes that drive cancer vary between adult and child patients, and both would benefit from personalized treatment.

A mutated form of angiogenin is linked to ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). It's path into the brain has been revealed in new research.

Scientists have successfully genetically engineered immune cells to hunt down and target brain tumors, thanks to the discovery of a novel molecular target, CSPG4, present on the surface of the cancer cells.

Researchers discover the wiring of the circuit in the mouse brain that drives and quenches thirst.
