By gillooly@mit.edu (Anne Trafton, MIT News Office) For Sinskey and Peoples, the road started 25 years ago. Peoples, who had just earned his PhD in molecular biology from the University of Aberdeen, arrived in Sinskey’s lab in 1984 and set out to sequence a bacterial gene. Today, high-speed sequencing machines could do the job in about a week....

By gillooly@mit.edu (Anne Trafton, MIT News Office) There is a long way to go, says Sharp, but the potential of RNA interference is very large. “The discovery of RNA interference opened our eyes to a whole new aspect of biomedical science and biology that we just had never been aware of.”

By Chris S. '11 The sun is rising outside, peeking over the Charles. But that's okay. It's just another day in Cambridge, Massachusetts. And I'm taking 4 classes at MIT - two history, two science. After dropping 7.06 (Cell Biology), I'm currently taking 9.01 (Neuroscience), 7.30 (Ecology I), 21H.466 (Imperia...

By gillooly@mit.edu (Anne Trafton, MIT News Office) Dawson and his colleagues describe the latest generation of the EIM probe in a paper they have submitted to the Annals of Biomedical Engineering. They presented the first generation probe at the IEEE International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference last year.

Stubbe, who joined the MIT faculty in 1987, is the Novartis Professor of Chemistry and a professor of biology. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.

By Chris S. '11 Overheard in Stata: Yeah, you know, biology makes no sense to me. It took me an entire semester to figure out that DNA is not really an amino acid...you know, the acid part was confusing. Tourist: (at Kendall Square) So which way to Harvard? MIT student: You're at MIT, bro.

By Shannon M. '12 My thoughts on majoring in MechE is that I would likely use it for biology or international development. ANYWAYS. Course 10B (Chemical Engineering with biology)- Like 5, only more engineering and biology- this is looking like a good way to potentially mesh the two.

By Snively '11 Not all sciences are created equal. To be perfectly frank and honest, I hate math, chemistry, and biology. I used to loathe physics but I'm slowly warming up to it. MIT forces you to take chemistry, biology, math, and physics, whether you like them or not. Whether you understand them or not. Whet...

By Paul B. '11 As you hopefully already know, I am a sophomore in Course 20 here at MIT. Because we say everything here in numbers, Course 20 actually means that I am a biological engineering major. Moreover, even though I've planned on being Course 20* since before coming to MIT**, MIT students tend to all...

By Matt Feltz It is pretty incredible what groups of novices can think up and start to assemble in a very limited amount of time! In tomorrow's conclusion we’ll discuss the grand prize-winning project from Slovenia and see what lies ahead for synthetic biology.

By Matt Feltz Over the weekend, one of the most prestigious student research contests took place in the labyrinthine halls of MIT’s Stata Center. 2008 marked the fifth year of the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, in which 84 teams created anything they could think o...

By Snively '11 I came to MIT wanting to be a mechanical engineer. I love building things, piecing things together, and constructing a product. I did not come to MIT to learn math, chemistry, or biology. As such, I struggled/didn't really enjoy these classes. Yes, I know, it's MIT, "we're" good at these class...
