People of OIST Research Update New Unit Profile: Big Questions, Small Subjects The Biodiversity and Biocomplexity Unit, led by Evan Economo, uses classic tools of taxonomy—as well as genomic sequencing and computer modeling—to study how species evolve, move around, and adapt to their environments. 08 July 2012 Research Update New Unit Profile: Beautiful Viruses Using the papilloma and polyoma viruses as subjects, Prof. Matthias Wolf’s team is focusing on how viruses latch on to cells, poke holes in the cell membrane, and inject their genetic material into their hosts, thereby infecting them. 06 June 2012 Research Update New Unit Profile: DNA’s Minders The Plant Epigenetics Unit, headed by Hidetoshi Saze, studies how epigenetic changes come about, a question with wide-ranging implications for plants and animals. 16 April 2012 Research Update Creativity, an Indispensable Requisite in Physics Research by Assistant Professor Keshav Dani, who leads the OIST Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit, aims to understand the physics of what happens to electrons in materials at the femtosecond timescale, a millionth of a billionth of a second. 15 March 2012 Pagination First page 1 2 3 4
