    Berkeley scientists find new way to get physical in the fight against cancer

    QB3 researchers at LBNL and UC Berkeley have shown that the biochemical activity of a protein system playing a key role in cancer metastasis can be altered by direct physical force. The discovery helps us understand how protein signaling contributes to the initiation, growth and progression of cancer cells, and suggests how cancer cells can be affected by surrounding tissue.

  • Herr lab researcher wins prestigious fellowship

    Kwasi Apori, a 5th year bioengineering graduate student in the laboratory of QB3's Amy Herr, has been named a 2010 Merck/UNCF Graduate Science Research Dissertation Fellow. (read more)

  • Genome sequenced for amoeba that flips into free-swimming cell

    Scientists have sequenced the genome of a weird, single-celled organism called Naegleria gruberi. The genome is teaching biologists about the transition from prokaryotes, which function just fine with all their proteins floating around in a soup, to eukaryotes, which neatly compartmentalize those proteins into nuclei and mitochondria. QB3's Dan Rokhsar is a coauthor of the research. (read more)
