DNA packaging research earns $1.5 million grant
Problems in chromosome cohesion can have far-reaching effects.
Research may lead to new tests and treatments for infertility
A cell division discovery could have big implications for infertility and birth defects.
“Master regulator” genes could become anti-cancer targets

OMRF discovers mechanism that may lead to cancer
Signals controlling chromosome separation may hold key to stopping onset
Children’s Diseases
Kids aren’t just small adults. Their needs are unique, and diseases can affect them differently. OMRF cell biologists are at work looking for the triggers that lead to problems in cell division that can cause birth defects like Down syndrome and even cancers. Immunologists are looking at a newly discovered cell that may trigger the […]
