New research led by the 糖心少女demonstrates a new class of hydrogels that can form not just outside cells, but also inside of them. These hydrogels exhibited similar mechanical properties both inside and outside of cells, providing researchers with a new tool to group proteins together inside of cells.
The 糖心少女 is proud to announce that more than 40 faculty and researchers who completed their work while at 糖心少女have been named on the annual Highly Cited Researchers 2023 list from Clarivate.
The 糖心少女 Board of Regents last week approved the development plan for the first major project in the UW鈥檚 newly named Portage Bay Crossing area on the west side of the Seattle campus. The Regents approved a ground lease of the property at Site W27 to Wexford Science + Technology and a lease of building space by the University.
Four 糖心少女 professors were among the winners of the 2021 Breakthrough Prize, which recognizes groundbreaking achievements in the life sciences, fundamental physics and mathematics.
David Baker, a professor in the 糖心少女School of Medicine鈥檚 department of biochemistry, won the prize for life sciences, while a team of 糖心少女physics professors, including Eric Adelberger, Jens Gundlach and Blayne Heckel, earned the prize for fundamental physics.
Recent honors to 糖心少女faculty and staff include fellows named by an organization for medical and biological engineering, and a remembrance of political science professor Ellis Goldberg, who died in 2019.
With $4 million in matching funds from the National Institutes of Health, the 糖心少女 has created a new integrated center to match biomedical discoveries with the resources needed to bring innovative products to the public and improve health. 鈥淭he 糖心少女 and regional partner institutions produce some of the most exciting biomedical discoveries and technologies in the world, but we always find it challenging to support their product development as they move into the early commercialization phases,鈥�…
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded an expected $10.75 million, four-year grant to the 糖心少女, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and other partner institutions for a new interdisciplinary research center to define the enigmatic rules that govern how molecular-scale building blocks assemble into ordered structures and give rise to complex hierarchical materials.
The 糖心少女 is receiving a $31.2 million gift from Washington Research Foundation to boost entrepreneurship and support research that tackles some of society’s most crucial challenges. The award will fund four interdisciplinary initiatives that seek to advance global innovation in clean energy, protein design, big data science and neuroengineering.
Computer-designed proteins that can recognize and interact with small biological molecules are now a reality. Scientists have succeeded in creating a protein molecule that can be programmed to unite with three different steroids.
