Congratulations to CCMB’s Ritambhara Singh (Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Data Science), Jeff Bailey (Associate Professor of Translational Research in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine), and David Rand (Stephen T. Olney Professor of Natural History, Chair of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology)!
The COBRE Center for Computational Biology of Human Disease is advancing the use of computational tools among biomedical scientists at Brown, helping them unlock new insights that could ultimately benefit patients.
Long-term work by a Brown research team on how barnacles thrive in intertidal zones has increasingly wide implications for understanding how other organisms may adapt in the face of climate change.
A new study of the biology of aging shows that complex interactions among diet, mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA appear to influence lifespan at least as much as single factors alone. The findings may help scientists better understand the underlying mechanisms of aging and explain why studies of single factors sometimes produce contradictory results.
Barry Connors, Diane Lipscombe, and David Rand have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. They will be officially welcomed as fellows on Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012, at the AAAS Annual Meeting in Vancouver, B.C.
Animal cells contain two genomes: one in the nucleus and one in the mitochondria. When mutations occur in each, they can become incompatible, leading to disease.
