...promised space there. University Provost Steven E. Hyman said in a recent interview that he hopes the Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute will have space in Cambridge by the beginning of 2011. But to make room, professors in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology will have to vacate their labs in the Sherman Fairchild Biochemistry Building by the spring of 2010.The renovated space in Fairchild and the adjacent Bauer Laboratory will be made “denser and more efficient” for the stem cell researchers. The new design, already...
...jokes about the New Pathway afternoon naps.”Tosteson also recognized the need to embrace cutting-edge and outward-looking research by reconfiguring the Medical School’s academic departments. His tenure saw the creation of the Departments of Cell Biology, Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Health Care Policy, and Social Medicine (renamed the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine). He also made plans to delve into functional genomics, even as some questioned the importance of the field.Though Tosteson implemented sweeping reforms, including interdepartmental initiatives that required a centralization of power, colleagues praised his willingness...
Among the many mysteries that befuddle autism researchers: why the disorder affects boys four times more often than girls. But in new findings reported online today by the journal Molecular Psychiatry, researchers say they have found a genetic clue that may help explain the disparity...
...This is a new molecular tool that will allow clinicians to select those patients who do not require chemotherapy at all," says Dr. David Kerr, a University of Oxford professor of cancer medicine, who led the study and will present its results at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO) in Orlando at the end of May. "It will empower some patients to be cured with surgery alone...
...changed a bit over the centuries, but influence remains a mysterious force and a difficult one to measure.

How do you gauge the influence of a molecular biologist vs. that of a politician, weigh the relative impact of a tennis player and a fashion designer or an architect and a minister? You can't, of course, and we don't try. But we look for people whose ideas, discoveries, talent and, yes, power shape and transform...
