Whatever it takes to make the right decision or to get an impression: D-BIOL answered hundreds of questions during the study information days at our stand, in lab tours, an example lecture, a curriculum presentation and a comparison event. See you again in a year!

Biology student Fatima Ali Ebrahim had a rocky start of her studies. In this video she shares what helped her turn things around and why she now loves studying biology at ETH. youtu.be/oSv3yRM2R88

This is a public lecture, everyone is invited to join. Just register!

The gamma-tubulin ring complex controls microtubule nucleation in cells. The Michal Wieczorek lab demonstrates that CDK5RAP2 regulates the structure of the gamma-tubulin ring complex to dramatically promote its microtubule-nucleating activity. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Implanting bacteria into fungi to unlock new biochemical capabilities! Read the findings on inducing artificial #endosymbiosis followed by adaptive #evolution in 🍄 by the #VorholtLab ETH Zürich Zurich. nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… ETH News: ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new method to measure changes in #Protein social networks within cells, paving the way for new drug treatments for diseases like cancer and #Alzheimer’s. brnw.ch/21wNPnN

The human GID E3 ubiquitin ligase complex regulates cell migration. A recent study by the Peter lab at ETH Zurich, in collaboration with the Côté and Pertz labs, demonstrates that the hGID GID4 complex controls cell motility by targeting ARHGAP11A. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Post-translational modifications confer important functions on peptides and proteins. The Piel lab ETH Zurich Zurich and collaborators discovered a new modification resulting in complex, steroid-like amino acids. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

How does the genome respond to genome duplication? Srikant et al. from the Bomblies lab (IMPB/D-BIOL) at ETH Zurich found epigenomic and transcriptomic changes in neo- polyploid Arabidopsis arenosa often revert in evolved polyploids. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

In a collaboration between the Pilhofer Lab and the Albers Lab from the University of Freiburg, the researchers show that haloarchaea express contractile injection systems – or “molecular daggers”, which influence the microbial communities they inhabit. biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

ETH researchers have uncovered a serious side effect of using the CRISPR-Cas gene scissors. A molecule designed to make the process more efficient destroys parts of the genome. Jacob Corn Grégoire Cullot brnw.ch/21wPb6M
