HPLC pioneer and entrepreneur Dr Herbert Knauer celebrates 85th birthday

As the German chemist Justus Freiherr von Liebig once said "The secret of all those who make discoveries is that they regard nothing as impossible". For Dr Knauer measuring the temperature of a solution with an accuracy of 1/1000 degree was a task that did not seem impossible. On September 12, 2016, he celebrated his 85th birthday.

Researchers identify mutant traits in mouse for many human disease genes

About one-third of all genes in the mammalian genome are essential for life. An international, multi-institutional research collaboration identified, for the first time, mutant traits in the mouse for 52 human disease genes, which significantly contributes to the understanding of the genetic bases for some human diseases, including cardiovascular defects, spina bifida, and metabolic disorders, among many others. The study was published this week in Nature.
