Birkbeck researchers have uncovered a way that may help stop the spread of antibiotic resistance, in a move that could impact the lives of millions globally.
Ken Holmes, Birkbeck alumnus and outstanding molecular biologist, died recently at the age of 87. His achievements and inspiring presence at the ISMB symposium are remembered here.
Birkbeck's Department of Biological Sciences hosted the EMBO Practical Course in Cryo-EM Image Processing in September.
The research has the potential to dramatically improve treatment, especially of drug resistant TB.
The Royal Society of Chemistry’s Prizes and Awards are awarded in recognition of originality and impact of research, or for each winner’s contribution to the chemical sciences industry or education.
Scientists reveal new details of structure of bacterial pili
Birkbeck/UCL-led research has revealed the flexible, coiled structure used by bacteria to anchor onto the lining of the urinary tract, which allows them to thrive and cause infections.
Molecular nano machines act like mini-syringes when infecting host cells
The way in which protein machines punch holes in cell membranes to destroy cells has been uncovered by Professor Helen Saibil’s research group at the Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology (ISMB), working in collaboration with other scientists in the UK and Australia.
Birkbeck consortium will make available thirty PhD studentships annually for next five years
