CPCB faculty member Bino John's team discovers a new class of small RNAs called usRNAs. >>

CPCB faculty member Eric Xing received a USAF Young Investigator Award. Eric was one of only 38 scientists nationwide to receive this award, which is intended to support the research of young scientists who show exceptional ability and promise.>>

Congratulations to Byoungkoo Lee, the first CPCB graduate! Byoungkoo successfully defended his thesis, entitled "Stochastic Off-Lattice Simulations of Binding Chemistry in Crowded Conditions," on August 27. His thesis advisor was Dr. Russell Schwartz. Byoungkoo plans to continue working with Dr. Schwartz as a post-doctoral researcher.
