Bioengineers featured in Berkeley Science Review
November 2009 Research on point-of-care diagnostics by Dan Fletcher’s lab, as well as Fletcher’s own experiences in Washington DC, are featured in the Fall 2009 issue of the Berkeley Science Review.
Tirrell featured in Innovations
October 12, 2009 Our new Berkeley Bioengineering Department Chair, Matthew Tirrell, is featured in this month’s Innovations email newsletter from the College of Engineering. Tirrell talks about his excitement at joining Berkeley and plans for the department.
Bioengineers use inkjet printer for gene expression
October 5, 2009 Bioengineering Graduate Group Affliliate Michel Maharbiz and BioE grad student Daniel Cohen have pioneered a new technique to control gene expression in two dimensions over time, using a modified inkjet printer.
Conboy profiled in Journal of Cell Biology
October 5, 2009 Bioengineering Assistant Professor Irina Conboy was featured in the People and Ideas column of the October 5 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology.
Conboy discovers clues to muscle aging
September 30, 2009 Berkeley Bioengineering Assistant Professor Irina Conboy and collaborators have identified a critical biochemical pathways linked to the aging of human muscle. By manipulating these pathways, the researchers were able to restore the muscle’s ability to repair and rebuild itself, offering hope for future injury repair and anti-aging techniques.
