Thomas Steitz, Sterling Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for showing how ribosomes function, work that has important implications for antibiotics.

Press Conference With Nobel Prize Winner Thomas Steitz

Dr. Thomas Steitz, Sterling Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, headed the team that mapped the ribosome's structure.

Mapping the Ribosome

Dr. Judy Cho, co-director for education at the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation talks about the need to bring knowledge gained in biomedical research to bear in patient care.  YCCI develops young investigators who are adept at collaborating with clinicians to put the basic discoveries of bench science to work improving patient care.

Tailoring Research to Promote Better Health

Yale's James Noonan describes genetic differences between humans and other primates.

Where Chimps and Humans Part Company

Ronald Breaker of Yale discusses his work with highly conserved RNA mechanism with great power to initiate change. In a world before DNA, riboswitches may have carried out many of the functions of life.

Riboswitches: Nature's Ancient Turn On

Professor Anna Marie Pyle discusses new findings about RNA processing and the form-function relationship of Group II introns and their evolution.

Crystallizing an Intron

Joan Steitz, Sterling Professor of Molecular Biophysics &amp; Biochemistry and HHMI Investigator and her Postdoctoral Fellow Shobha Vasudevan discuss their recent findings on microRNAs acting as activators as well as repressors of gene activity.

The Unanticipated Versatility of MicroRNAs

Peter Glazer, M.D., Robert E. Hunter Professor of Radiology, professor of genetics, and chair of therapeutic radiology, has developed a technique to repair faulty genes.

You Can't Change Your Genesâ€”or Can You?

Dr. Errol Norwitz, Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology &amp; Reproductive Sciences, discusses his abstract on genes in a Hispanic Population that are linked preterm birth and diminished birthweight.

Genes Linked to Low Birthweight and Preterm Birth in Hispanic Population

Dr. Richard Lifton, chair of the Department of Genetics, Sterling Professor of Genetics, Medicine and Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Investigator Howard Hughes Medical Institute, talks about how common human diseases account for the vast majority of deaths in our society and are known to have underlying inherited components.

Genes: You Are What You Inherit

I learned so much and it was so interesting to me and you will love it if you listen and they are the perfect time if you just want to listen to it between classes if you have a test coming up

You need to listen to this!!!!

Genetics

Michael Snyder, Cullman Professor of Molecular, Cellular &amp; Developmental Biology and Director of the Yale Center for Genomics and Proteomics; and Post-doctoral associate Jan Korbel discuss new findings of individual diversity caused by large-scale gene rearrangement.

Shuffled DNA Makes People Different

Arthur Horwich, professor of genetics and pediatrics and Howard Hughes Medical Investigator, talks about his research on the protein folding machinery in cells and its potential to cure neurodegenerative and other diseases.
