Judith Frydman grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she majored in Chemistry and received her PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Buenos Aires. She carried out her postdoctoral training ...

The structure and function of ion channels with emphasis on K+ channels is the subject of my research. These integral membrane proteins mediate the passive flow of K+ ions across cell membranes, ...

Throughout my career I have studied split-brain and other types of neurologic patients, in an effort to understand both the functional lateralization in the human brain and how the cerebral ...

GERALD SCHUBERT (NAS) is a professor emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Department of Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences. Dr. Schubert?s research interests center on ...

I have studied the mechanisms whereby proteins are translocated across biological membranes. This study has led us to isolate the "preprotein translocase" from E. coli. It consists of a multisubunit, ...

Rhizobium-legume symbiosis was always in the focus of my research interest. First by its importance in the combined nitrogen-pool of the Earth through nitrogen fixation but mostly because of the ...

Germ cells are the stem cells for the next generation. Set-aside during embryogenesis from the somatic cells that form the body of the organism, germ cells, through the fusion of sperm and egg, ...

I have had a life-long interest in endocrine physiology, with particular emphasis on parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its role in normal and pathophysiological calcium and bone metabolism. The ...

As a geneticist and biochemist, I have studied molecular principles underlying the innate immune system of plants. I am particularly interested in understanding how immune sensors perceive the ...

Krzysztof (Kris) Matyjaszewski is J.C. Warner University Professor of Natural Sciences in Chemistry Department at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Director of Center for Macromolecular Engineering ...

Interests include national security and intelligence involving phenomena, technology, and equipment for sea, air, land and space for/with U.S. government; limitation of arms, both nuclear and ...

Insect societies play a dominant role in terrestrial ecology. Their astounding evolutionary success is based on remarkable systems of division of labor involving hundreds and thousands of individual ...
