News and Events

bullet Cover for Nature Chemical BiologyNational Institutes of Health researchers, including members of the NIH Chemical Genomics Center, performed high-throughput chemical genomic screening to identify new leads for antimalarial drugs. A study published in the September 6, 2009 advance online edition of Nature Chemical Biology demonstrates the utility of the chemical genomics approach to studying malaria traits.

bullet P N A S Logo The agent currently used to detect recurrence of thyroid cancer is difficult to produce and must be injected. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and colleagues in Germany have found a promising alternative that is easy to produce and can be injected or given orally, at least in mice. Co-authors of the paper included Christopher P. Austin, M.D., and James Inglese, Ph.D., from the NIH Chemical Genomics Center, administered by NHGRI. The research was published online (before print) on July 10, 2009 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. [ Full Text PDF file]


bullet Science, May 29, 2009 Cover National Institutes of Health researchers sequenced microbial DNA on healthy individuals to advance new and better strategies for treating and preventing skin diseases. A study published in the May 29, 2009 issue of the journal Science reveals that our skin is home to a much wider array of bacteria than previously thought. [ Full Text]

Genomics in Action

K. J. Myung, Ph.D.
K. J. Myung, Ph.D. won't just tell you about unstable genomes, he'll show you one. He studies genome instability, which is both a characteristic of and, in some cases, a trigger for many genetic diseases, including cancer. (more)
