Researchers show that antibiotic-infused silver nanoparticles can effectively break down biofilms while unveiling a new sensing method to assess antimicrobial activity.

A synthetic droplet may give researchers clues on how simplest forms of life on the planet could navigate their surroundings.

With the help of medaka fish, CRISPR and new imaging techniques, researchers have set a new standard for studying cell division at the very earliest stages of life.

The Cell Proliferation and Gene Editing Unit studies how cells divide, what can cause sickness within cells, and searches for new treatment targets for cancer.

In the fifth installment of the OIST podcast series on the Global Bioconvergence Center of Innovation, DJ Nick Luscombe talks to Profs. Amy Shen and Keiko Kono about their work to create devices for research and discover the mechanisms of cell aging.

Turning genes on and off as easily and predictably as flicking a switch could be a powerful tool in medicine and biotech. A type of technology called a riboswitch might be the key.

OIST researchers leading projects that could lead to disruptive innovation have been awarded the prestigious FOREST grant

Mutations that maintain fitness are vital for diversity and, for the first time, scientists have managed to experimentally show how extensive networks of these mutations develop.

Researchers have found that competing strains of Escherichia coli bacteria form distinctive lane-like patterns as their populations grow.

Researchers show that molecular interactions between pieces of DNA can drive the self-assembly of structures visible to the naked eye.

Professor Amy Shen, who leads the Micro/Bio/Nanofluidics Unit, has been made a 2021 Fellow of the American Physical Society for her significant contributions to the field of fluid dynamics.
