Probe of Hidden Dynamics of Molecular Biology

Funded by a US-$1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation, University of Chicago (USA) scientists are aiming to develop a systematic method for determining how biological processes emerge from molecular interactions. The method may permit them to "rewire" the regulatory circuitry of insulin-secreting pancreatic beta cells, which play a major role in type-2 diabetes. more
