The Theory of Quantum Matter Unit here at OIST examines this idea on a much smaller scale. 22 October 2012 Research Update The King of Marine Networking Professor Satoshi Mitarai, head of the Marine Biophysics Unit at OIST, is a master of making friends in all the right places – in his case, leading marine research institutions around the world. 10 October 2012 Research Update Taking Out the Garbage: How Cells Know What to Keep and What to Toss To respond to the body’s needs, our cells are constantly switching specific genes on or off. Flipping the switch means the cells either start or stop making copies of a gene out of molecules known as RNA; these so-called “transcripts” are then read by protein-making machinery to manufacture the gene’s final product. 08 October 2012 Research Update Finding Better Ways to Cope with ADHD The Human Developmental Neurobiology Unit is primarily concerned not with theory or bench work, but with studying the causes and effects of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to achieve tangible benefits for affected children and their families. 03 October 2012 Research Update Nano-Engineering Electrodes to Give Tiny Generators a Boost Could our waste be part of the answer to humanity’s energy problems? Some researchers think so, thanks to bacteria that chow down on everything from sewage to heavy metals and give off electricity as one of their own waste products. 19 September 2012 Research Update Dr. Yoshiyuki Asai Awarded for Work on PhysioDesigner Software Along with other members of his unit, Yosiyuki Asai has developed a new software platform, PhysioDesigner, to assist those who want to create physiological models. 03 September 2012 Pagination 1 2 3 … Last page Media Coverage Coverage of OIST in the media and on the web Media Coverage
