Research vital for insight into the functional repertoire of fungi

Kirsten ten Tusscher en Thea van den Berg on their publication in Plant Development

The discovery of Professor Sander van den Heuvel and PhD researcher Suzan Ruijtenberg was published in the leading journal Cell

Dr Venter has developed novel approaches in genome sequencing

Alexander Makarov, Professor by Special Appointment, has been elected as Fellow of the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences.

Utrecht scientists uncover on a molecular level why proteins form aggregates with the protein Tau, that plays a role in Alzheimer Disease.

Last Friday, minister Robbert Dijkgraaf opened the renewed Electron Microscopy Centre, which houses advanced equipment and brings together scientific disciplines.

MLS and Chemistry students of the course “Protein Folding & Assembly” organised a virtual international symposium with high quality speakers

Christian Kaiser is appointed as professor of Biophysical Chemistry of Membranes and Proteins in the Bijvoet Centre for Biomolecular Research.

A new powerful antibiotic, isolated from bacteria that could not be studied before, seems capable to combat harmful bacteria and even multi-resistant ‘superbugs’. The antibiotic appears to kill bacteria in an unusual way, making it more difficult for bacteria to develop any resistance against it.

The National Growth Fund invests 325 million euros in the Oncode-PACT plan to accelerate the preclinical development process of cancer drugs.

Insight into the killing mechanism of the antibiotic teixobactin will enable to design powerful antibiotics against which bacteria do not readily develop resistance.

The repair of the inner mantle protecting DNA in the cell nucleus, is done by one repair protein instead of several in a stepwise process.

Utrecht biochemists are refuting claims that have been published in Nature en PNAS for the past years: the amino acid histidine cannot pas on signals as an 'on-off switch' in mammalian cells.

Extraordinary detailed analysis has uncovered key cell elements that support sperm motion and rigidity. The discovery may lead to new directions for treating male infertility and developing male contraceptives.

Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� professor Albert Heck has been awarded the Wallace H. Coulter Lectureship. Heck receives the prestigious lectureship for his scientific impact and multiple breakthroughs.

Every person appears to have a completely unique immune system. The discovery could help explain why, for example, corona vaccines appear to be less effective for some people.

Studying sperm cells in unprecedented detail reveals how some of the cell’s vital energy producers are arranged. This may provide new insights into sperm movement, as well as unknown causes of male infertility.

Scientists have discovered how special proteins in the blood prevent our immune system from harming our own cells with overproduced molecules.

Antibodies from corona patients bind to the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in their own unique way. Being able to select the best-binding antibodies may kickstart the development of new corona medicines.
