SLAS
Advance your research with financial support from the SLAS Grants Program, which is now accepting applications for 2019 awards. The SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant facilitates educational opportunities for outstanding students pursuing graduate degrees related to quantitative biosciences and/or life sciences research. The SLAS Visiting Graduate Researcher Program offers North American or European degree-seeking graduate students an opportunity to conduct short-term doctoral research or participate in a mentored or independent research project with a faculty member at a different host institution. The deadline for both applications is Dec. 10. Read more about SLAS's elite recipients and their research:

As the cost of genome sequencing decreases, researchers and clinicians are debating whether all newborns should be sequenced at birth, facilitating a lifetime of personalized medical care. But while sequencing the genomes of some infants may be appropriate in specific contexts, genome-wide sequencing of all newborns should not be pursued at this time, and health professionals should recommend against parents using direct-to-consumer genetic sequencing to diagnose or screen their newborns, states a new article.

Researchers from the University of Cincinnati report that they are developing a new method to attack methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that does not involve antibiotics. Instead, they are using light to activate oxygen, which then wipes out the bacteria. The team says the technique could also be used to treat other microbial infections, and possibly even cancer.

A study published in Nature reported a new catalytic method that combines enzymatic catalysts with photocatalysts. Huimin Zhao, professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and leader of the Biosystems Design research theme at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois, led the research alongside John Hartwig, Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley.

Researchers in the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology's Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering have cured fungal infections using a soil-dwelling bacteria.
The findings of the research led by Boaz Mizrahi, assistant professor, and conducted by Maayan Lupton and Ayelet Orbach, were published in Advanced Functional Materials.
Fungal infections are common among various animals, including humans.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have successfully assembled enzyme-powered artificial cells that can float or sink depending on their internal chemical activity. The work provides a new approach to designing complex life-like properties in non-living materials.
Microorganisms have evolved a high degree of control over their locomotion using motility mechanisms that in their simplest form include simple gliding and gas bubble buoyancy.

People with phenylketonuria have to stick to strict diets to prevent the toxic buildup of phenylalanine, a key constituent of proteins, which otherwise can lead to severe neurological and cognitive impairments.
Researchers at Synlogic, a Massachusetts-based biotech, now report that a bacterium genetically modified to remove phenylalanine from the blood shows promise in preclinical trials.

Researchers demonstrate the application of deep neural networks as a machine-learning tool for the analysis of a large collection of crystallographic data contained in the crystal structure repositories. Using input data in the form of multiperspective atomic fingerprints, which describe coordination topology around unique crystallographic sites, the team shows that the neural-network model can be trained to effectively distinguish chemical elements based on the topology of their crystallographic environment.

Although they were discovered almost a century ago, atropisomers are only now having their heyday. Uncovered by James Kenner and George Hallatt Christie at the University of Sheffield in 1922, this exotic class of chiral compounds revealed itself to the duo in a deceptively simple molecule.
The compound, dubbed 6,6'-dinitro-2,2'-diphenic acid, consists of two aromatic rings lashed together by a carbon-carbon bond that is flanked by a carboxylic acid and nitro group jutting from each ring.
