UK Awards $32M for New Synthetic Biology Research

Posted on by

The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences has elected 70 new members including Lynda Chin, Stephen Quake, and Daniel Kastner. Chin is currently a professor and chair of genomic medicine and scientific director of the Institute for Applied Cancer Science at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Quake is a professor of bioengineering at Stanford University and an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Kastner is the scientific director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, where, among other duties, he leads the inflammatory disease section of the medical genetics branch.

Caprotec Bioanalytics has appointed Jonathan Turner to be CEO and managing director. Turner will take over the CEO spot from company founder Hubert Koester, who will continue to work with the company as acting chief scientific officer and chairman of the scientific advisory board. Turner formerly was senior VP at XL Techgroup, a technology developer and equity firm, and he held senior management posts at Boehringer Ingelheim, Astrazeneca, and Schering.

Bill Bowen has been appointed by Sequenom SVP and general counsel. He will report directly to Chairman and CEO Harry Hixson and will be responsible for the company's legal and patent issues. Bowen was previously with Gen-Probe, where he was SVP and general counsel. Before that he was a business litigation partner at Luce Forward Hamilton & Scripps.

CSHL Press releases new book on the biology of drug addiction

Posted on by

Public release date: 12-Nov-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Contact: Elizabeth Powers powerse@cshl.edu 516-422-4101 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

Drug and alcohol abuse elicits significant biological changes in the brain that drive compulsive behavior and lead to addiction. Abrupt cessation leads to withdrawal, craving, and relapse. A complete understanding of the brain changes produced by abused substances is therefore necessary if we are to develop treatments for drug dependence.

Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine explores the biological basis of addiction to alcohol, nicotine, and other psychoactive drugs. Contributors describe the molecular targets of these drugs, the resulting changes to neural networks, and the various genetic, developmental, and behavioral factors that influence the progression from abuse to addiction. Animal models of addictive behavior and techniques to dissect neural circuits are also described.

This volume includes discussion of compounds currently used or under development to treat drug dependence. Thus, it is an indispensable reference for neuroscientists and all who are interested in reducing the public health burden of substance abuse.

Nottingham part of £20m investment for UK synthetic biology

Public release date: 12-Nov-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

The University of Nottingham has been awarded funding of 2.9m to help make low-carbon fuel.

In a move that could potentially revolutionise major UK industries and help us to meet serious social and environmental challenges, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) has announced an unprecedented 20m worth of synthetic biology projects.

The funding was announced by the Chancellor George Osborne at the Royal Society.

The six projects focus on biotechnology and advanced bioenergy and will use synthetic biology to investigate major global challenges, such as producing low-carbon fuel and reducing the cost of industrial raw materials. The funding will also help to build a world-leading synthetic biology research community in the UK.

Minister for Universities and Science David Willetts said: "Synthetic biology could provide solutions to the global challenges we face and offers significant growth opportunities in a range of important sectors from health to energy. However the commercialisation of basic science is largely untapped.

"This investment is part of the Government's commitment to making the UK a world leader in the research and application of synthetic biology. It will help to ensure that academics and industry can realise its full potential."

Led by Professor Nigel Minton, The University of Nottingham researchers in the Centre for Biomolecular Sciences are working to maximize the use of sustainable forms of energy by harnessing the ability of certain bacteria to 'consume' the gas carbon monoxide (CO) and convert it into useful chemicals and fuels.

CO is an abundant resource, and a waste product of steel manufacturing, oil refining and other industries. If we can use this CO to provide more sustainable energy, it would also result in a reduction in fossil carbon emissions.
