...Currently director of molecular biology at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry, a non-profit research center near Munich, Ullrich is renowned for his research in gene technology...
...group of Harvard researchers have discovered part of the molecular machinery that allows sperm to score. The finding may lead to the development of new types of contraceptives...
Clapham’s group discovered that CatSper is found only in the part of the sperm cell that connects to the sperm’s tail, or flagellum. This part contains the molecular machinery that allows the sperm to wave the flagellum and move forward...
...another Truth, even deeper and less applicable than the last. Evolutionary biologists scour the hills for one more pelvic girdle to add to the collection. Physicists build gi-normous machines to refine their test parameters of desiccated theories that have been around for decades, if not centuries. Molecular biologists use polymerase chain reaction on everything in sight to find the next link in some signaling pathway. Linguists chronicle yet another moribund language. Computer scientists, taking shelter from the dot-com disintegration, fret over the computational efficiency of the next trendy problem. Economists run endless regressions on the next exogenous variable...
...world to perform what seems like black magic inside of computers. 3) Genetic algorithms: Merging CS with evolutionary biology to evolve efficient programs, getting useful algorithms without actually having to think about their design. 4) Bioinformatics: A melange of mathematics, CS, biology and accounting. 5) Rational drug design: Coupling molecular dynamics modeling with physics and chemistry to intelligently design useful compounds. 6) Rational choice theory: A shotgun marriage of mathematics and social studies with weird, but thought-provoking results. 7) Nanotechnology: An amalgamation of robotics and molecular chemistry. 8) Computational linguistics: A dash of mathematics, a pinch...
