SAN FRANCISCO, CA—For some, the disease multiple sclerosis (MS) attacks its victims slowly and progressively over a period of many years. For others, it strikes without warning in fits and starts.
Akassoglou Lab Neurological Disease Multiple Sclerosis
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—What does it mean to be human? According to scientists the key lies, ultimately, in the billions of lines of genetic code that comprise the human genome. The problem, however, has been deciphering that code.
Center for Systems and Therapeutics Pollard Lab Big Data
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—One of biology’s most fundamental processes is something called transcription. It is just one step of many required to build proteins—and without it life would not exist. However, many aspects of transcription remain shrouded in mystery.
Infectious Disease Ott Lab Basic Science
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Perhaps the single greatest barrier to curbing the spread of HIV/AIDS is the dormant, or “latent,” reservoir of virus, which is out of reach of even the most potent medications.
Greene Lab Infectious Disease HIV/AIDS
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Lennart Mucke, MD, who directs neurological research at the Gladstone Institutes, next week will receive the ARCS Foundation’s 2013 Pacesetter Award for his lifelong dedication to overcoming Alzheimer’s disease—and for mentoring students to take a similar approach.
Mucke Lab Neurological Disease Alzheimer’s Disease
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—In an unprecedented move, the California Academy of Sciences today will induct two scientists from the Gladstone Institutes’, President R. Sanders “Sandy” Williams, MD, and Investigator Katherine Pollard, PhD, as Academy Fellows, bestowing yet another honor on two of San Francisco's most esteemed scientists.
Pollard Lab Purchasing
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Three Gladstone scientists have won research awards from divisions of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) equaling an approximate total of $12.5 million over five years for their groundbreaking research to overcome HIV/AIDS.
HIV/AIDS Infectious Disease Greene Lab Sanjabi Lab Weinberger Lab
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—There is no easy way to study diseases of the brain. Extracting brain cells, or neurons, from a living patient is difficult and risky, while examining a patient’s brain post-mortem usually only reveals the disease’s final stages.
Huang Lab Alzheimer’s Disease Stem Cells/iPSCs
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—In the aftermath of a heart attack, cells within the region most affected shut down. They stop beating. And they become entombed in scar tissue.
Srivastava Lab Stem Cells/iPSCs Stem Cells/iPSCs
SAN FRANCISCO, CA and COLLEGE STATION, TX—An enzyme is a tiny, well-oiled machine. A class of proteins that are made up of multiple, interlocking molecular components, enzymes perform a variety of tasks inside each cell.
Basic Science Krogan Lab
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s. Names forever linked to what they represent: diseases that ravage the brain’s neurons and leave entire regions to wither and die.
Finkbeiner Lab Huntington’s Disease
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—The ability to form blood vessels is one of evolution’s crowning achievements, and something that separates vertebrates (animals with a backbone) from the rest of the animal kingdom.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—The power of the brain lies in its trillions of intercellular connections, called synapses, which together form complex neural “networks.” While neuroscientists have long sought to map these complex connections to see how they influence specific brain functions, traditional tech
Kreitzer Lab
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Inside each of us is our own internal timing device. It drives everything from sleep cycles to metabolism, but the inner-workings of this so-called “circadian clock” are complex, and the molecular processes behind it have long eluded scientists.
Akassoglou Lab Metabolism
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes have deciphered how a protein called Arc regulates the activity of neurons—providing much-needed clues into the brain’s ability to form long-lasting memories.
