By Allessandra DiCorato October 11, 2023 In 2011, Robert Manguso was working in a cell biology lab when his mother was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. Omar Avila Monge puts samples — immune cells isolated from tumors treated with the PTPN2 inhibitor — into a centrifuge.

Navarro later became the first in her family to attend a four-year college, earning her degree in microbiology from the University of Texas at El Paso, followed by a stint doing research at Novartis in Cambridge, MA, and then graduate studies at MIT to earn her Ph.D. in cell biology. Why do you think it works?,”

For my PhD project, I chose an advisor who worked on DNA and I started working with her on the physical properties of DNA. Could you share an example of a specific project or some research that you have worked on and its impact in your field? In chemical biology, we are in a golden age.

Collecting the Numbers We can easily measure some things in biology yet struggle to measure others. Thanks to decades of progress in molecular sequencing technologies, it is simple to read out the order of nucleotides in a DNA sequence, for example, or to quantify messenger RNAs as they are made by a cell.

And what they found, remarkably, is the world’s largest genome ; each fern cell contains 160.45 billion bases of DNA which, if unfurled, would extend for more than 100 meters—taller than the Statue of Liberty. billion bases of DNA, the human genome measures just 2 meters in length when stretched end-to-end.

How has nucleolar stress (NS) been linked to age-related diseases, and what approach did researchers use to investigate its toxicity? For his postdoctoral stay he joined the group of André Nussenzweig, where he started to work on DNA repair, particularly focusing on the role of histone H2AX.
