eBriefing
Speakers: Andrew Mutter (City College of New York / CUNY), Athanasios Bourtsalas (Columbia University), Stephen Forrest (University of Michigan), and Gilles Dennler (Konarka Technologies, Inc.)
Because of the lower cost of materials, flexible solar technology has the potential to be competitive with non-renewable sources of electricity such as coal or natural gas. Scientists discussed advances in the field and barriers that need to be overcome to realize its potential.
eBriefing
Speakers: John Koh (University of Delaware), Akira Kawamura (Hunter College, City University of New York), and Tom Kodadek (The Scripps Research Institute)
From traditional Asian herbs to high-tech computational approaches, chemical biologists are using everything in their arsenal to identify promising new drug candidates.
eBriefing
Keynote Speaker: Adrian Whitty (Boston University)
In this new eBriefing, graduate students and postdocs from chemical biology labs around the New York area describe efforts to find and synthesize molecules that bind to proteins or DNA in useful ways.
eBriefing
Speakers: Susan Taylor (University of California, San Diego), Vincent Stoll (Abbott Laboratories), Harren Jhoti (Astex Therapeutics), and Stephen Burley (SGX Pharmaceuticals)
Protein kinases play a key role in almost every major pathway in eukaryotic cells. A new eBriefing reports how structural approaches, including a new method called fragment-based drug design, are identifying potential targets against diseases including cancer.
eBriefing
Speakers: Eric Dufresne (Yale University) and Steven P. Bitler (Landec Corporation)
As a new eBriefing reports, researchers are developing "intelligent" materials that respond to changes in their environment in ways that solve engineering challenges. Products like "smart" food packaging have even begun entering the market.
