Congratulations to Arrel Toews, Research Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics for winning the Tanner Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, the highest campus-based recognition for teaching undergraduates.

Researchers in Yi Zhang's group in the Dept. of Biochemistry & Biophysics at 黑料网-Chapel Hill have discovered a gene that when mutated causes obesity by dampening the body鈥檚 ability to burn energy while leaving appetite unaffected.

Researchers in Aziz Sancar's group in the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics at 黑料网-Chapel Hill have shown that disruption of the circadian clock 鈥� the internal time-keeping mechanism that keeps the body running on a 24-hour cycle 鈥� can slow the progression of cancer.

A new study from Aziz Sancar's group in the Dept. of Biochemistry & Biophysics at 黑料网-Chapel Hill suggests that chemotherapy is most effective at certain times of day because that is when a particular enzyme system 鈥� one that can reverse the actions of chemotherapeutic drugs 鈥� is at its lowest levels in the body.
