July 7, 2017Dr. Dan Notterman and graduate student Sarah James used a database to show that children who sleep less have shorter telomeres.Research -
June 20, 2017Pierre Jean Beltran, a graduate student in the Cristea lab in Molecular Biology, is the recipient of the Harold W. Dodds Fellowship, which was established in 1957 in honor of Princeton's 15th president. His research is about understanding how viruses remodel organelles to facilitate viral replication and spread.Grants, Fellowships and Awards -

June 16, 2017Molecular Biology graduate student Krystal Lum, a member of the Cristea lab, was awarded the NIH National Research Service Award (NRSA) for her project "Bridging virology with proteomics to define cell immune signaling upon infection."Grants, Fellowships and Awards -
June 15, 2017MOL BIO Assistant Professor Mohamed Abou Donia was chosen as a 2017 Pew Scholar. The Donia lab researches how chemicals produced by the bacteria in our body (the human microbiome) can be used to treat human diseases.Department Announcement -
June 1, 2017Rsearchers in the Bassler, Stone and Muir labs have developed a way to place onto surfaces special coatings that chemically “communicate” with bacteria, telling them what to do. The coatings, which could be useful in inhibiting or promoting bacterial growth as needed, possess this controlling power over bacteria because, in effect, they “speak” the bugs’ own language.Research -

May 9, 2017Former Molecular Biology graduate student and member of the Zakian lab Wai-Hong Tham has been named an International Research Scholar by HHMI, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation,who sponsor this award for early-career scientists poised to advance biomedical research across the globe.Grants, Fellowships and Awards -
April 4, 2017Researchers in the Gavis lab at Princeton University and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have discovered how a fruit fly protein binds and regulates two different types of RNA target sequence. The study may help explain how various RNA-binding proteins, many of which are implicated in cancer and neurodegenerative disease, perform so many different functions in the cell.Research -
March 14, 2017Researchers from Princeton University‘s Department of Molecular Biology have developed a new method that can precisely track the replication of yellow fever virus in individual host immune cells. The technique could aid the development of new vaccines against a range of viruses, including Dengue and Zika.Research -
March 13, 2017Lynn Enquist, Jim Sturm and Naveen Verma are recipients of a Fall Innovation Award from the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the J. Blair Pyne Fund.
