Keasling, 41, has spent the past 13 years at the University of California, Berkeley, working out how to trick E. coli microbes into churning out synthetic and beneficial versions of plant products. He was particularly interested in molecules known as terpenoids, like artemisinin, which treats malaria; taxol, an anticancer drug; and prostratin, a potential anti-HIV compound...
That's where Keasling comes in. He's focusing his lab's work on producing synthetic artemisinin to drive down the price per dose to pennies. Keasling and his team at Berkeley have already worked out how to extract the genes responsible for making artemisinin and transplanted them into a harmless strain of E. coli. Now they're furiously working those 100-hour weeks to reroute the metabolic traffic in the microbe and produce oodles of artemisinin...
...Wake, a biology professor at the University of California, Berkeley, is also helping form a committee of scientists, lawyers, and media experts to respond to challenges to evolution...
...third-year Tulane University student who has been displaced to UC Berkeley this semester. Although Tulane's campus remained relatively unscathed, my home, just two blocks away, is being gutted down to its bare framework. The few articles of clothing that I grabbed from my house while I was evacuating are all that could be saved. Only three months after the storm, I talk to many people in the Bay Area about my experience. It has taken me a long time to talk about this event without sobbing by the middle of my story. However, I find that many people...
...Bhabha adds that it was “perfectly edible.” (In his free time, Bhabha loves hanging out at Burdick’s, having lunch at Legal Seafoods, and eating breakfast at Henrietta’s Table.) Although he raves about the organic food at Berkeley College at Yale (where his son is an undergrad), Bhabha is quick and firm in his prediction for Saturday’s game...
