    Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular and Cell Biology) Hit the Newspaper Headlines on a Weekly Basis

    The Tenovus-Scotland Symposia and Medal Lectures Today medical advances as a result of discoveries in the Life Sciences (Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular and Cell Biology) hit the newspaper headlines on a weekly basis. This was not the case at the time of the first Tenovus-Scotland Symposium nearly 35 years ago. Since the discovery of the structure of DNA twenty years earlier, great advances had been made in understanding, at the level of molecules, how genes work in the cell. From study of simple bacteria and viruses, it was known that the information for making all the different proteins in the cell was encoded in the sequence of nucleotides, the individual chemical units of DNA, but study of higher organisms seemed impossibly complex. The chromosomes in each human cell have about 23,000 genes in their DNA that contains a total of about three thousand million nucleotides - how would it be possible to study these genes individually? Three staff from the Biochemistry Department and the Beatson Institute planned a two day meeting at Glasgow University in 1974 to bring together scientists to discuss and learn about the new discoveries that were beginning to provide answers to that fundamental question. Sir Charles Illingworth, who had recently founded Tenovus- Scotland, saw the importance of these studies and their potential future application in medicine and agreed a grant towards the cost of the meeting, which we called the Tenovus-Scotland Symposium although the First Meeting was also jointly sponsored by the Nucleotide Group of the

    Cambridge's 92 Nobel Prize winners part 4 - 1996 to 2015: from stem cell breakthrough to IVF By Cambridge News | Posted: February 01, 2016 Some of Cambridge's most recent Nobel winners Over the last four weeks the News has been rounding up all of Cambridge's 92 Nobel Laureates, which this week comes right up to the present day. From the early giants of physics like JJ Thomson and Ernest Rutherford to the modern-day biochemists unlocking the secrets of our genome, we've covered the length and breadth of scientific discovery, as well as hugely influential figures in economics, literature and politics. What has stood out is the importance of collaboration; while outstanding individuals have always shone, Cambridge has consistently achieved where experts have come together to bounce their ideas off each other. Key figures like Max Perutz, Alan Hodgkin and Fred Sanger have not only won their own Nobels, but are regularly cited by future winners as their inspiration, as their students went on to push at the boundaries they established. In the final part of our feature we cover the last 20 years, when Cambridge has won an average of a Nobel Prize a year, and shows no sign of slowing down, with ground-breaking research still taking place in our midst today.

    The Nobel Prize in Physiology Or Medicine 2007

    PRESS RELEASE 2007-10-08 The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to award The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2007 jointly to Mario R. Capecchi, Martin J. Evans and Oliver Smithies for their discoveries of “principles for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by the use of embryonic stem cells” SUMMARY This year’s Nobel Laureates have made a series of ground-breaking discoveries concerning embryonic stem cells and DNA recombination in mammals. Their discoveries led to the creation of an immensely powerful technology referred to as gene targeting in mice. It is now being applied to virtually all areas of biomedicine – from basic research to the development of new therapies. Gene targeting is often used to inactivate single genes. Such gene “knockout” experiments have elucidated the roles of numerous genes in embryonic development, adult physiology, aging and disease. To date, more than ten thousand mouse genes (approximately half of the genes in the mammalian genome) have been knocked out. Ongoing international efforts will make “knockout mice” for all genes available within the near future. With gene targeting it is now possible to produce almost any type of DNA modification in the mouse genome, allowing scientists to establish the roles of individual genes in health and disease. Gene targeting has already produced more than five hundred different mouse models of human disorders, including cardiovascular and neuro-degenerative diseases, diabetes and cancer. Modification of genes by homologous recombination Information about the development and function of our bodies throughout life is carried within the DNA. Our DNA is packaged in chromosomes, which occur in pairs – one inherited from the father and one from the mother.
