The species richness in Xishuangbanna is now being threatened by deforestation. 30 July 2013 Research Update Major Addition to Student and Researcher Accommodation The West Court Apartments are now complete, and new residents have started moving in since early July. 24 July 2013 Research Update Prof. Economo Wins Presidential Award from ASN Prof. Evan Economo, who leads OIST’s Biodiversity and Biocomplexity Unit, was awarded the 2013 Presidential Award from the American Society of Naturalists (ASN). 16 July 2013 Research Update A coral symbiont genome decoded for first time The Marine Genomics Unit has decoded the genome of the algae Symbiodinium minutum. This is a major advance in understanding the complex ecology of coral reefs. 12 July 2013 Research Update OIST Researchers Contribute to Findings Behind Mealybug Symbiosis A research team including OIST's Prof. Noriyuki Satoh has discovered that mealybugs have a tripartite symbiosis dependent on genes from multiple diverse bacteria. 20 June 2013 Research Update Speaking to the Public Two recent events at the University underlined OIST’s ambition to spread scientific ideas and concepts to the population of Okinawa and all staff at the University. 29 May 2013 Research Update Blind Zebrafish Shed Light on Human Retinal Diseases Featured on the cover of Developmental Cell, a paper by OIST researchers revealed the mechanistic link between photoreceptor cell degeneration and defects in protein transport. 28 May 2013 Research Update How Do Neurons Recognize Each Other at Synapses? In a paper in the June 5 issue of Neuron, researchers in the Cell Signal Unit and colleagues identified the mechanism behind how synapses assemble in cortico-basal ganglia circuits. 17 May 2013 Research Update Prof. Hirotaka Sugawara Receives the Order of the Sacred Treasure Prof. Hirotaka Sugawara, Distinguished Professor and Special Advisor to the OIST President was awarded on May 13 the Order of the Sacred Treasure by the Government of Japan. 13 May 2013 Research Update OIST Researchers First to Uncover Mechanisms Behind Sensing Alkalinity In a paper published in Current Biology, Professor Ichiro Maruyama and colleagues have uncovered the mechanisms behind how an organism senses alkalinity in its environment. 09 May 2013 Research Update Addicted to Dopamine Professor Gordon Arbuthnott's understanding of dopamine's complex nature has come a long way since he was first introduced to the neurotransmitter in the 1960s. 02 May 2013 Pagination First page 1 2 3 Last page Media Coverage Coverage of OIST in the media and on the web Media Coverage
