Drug discovery: Predicting promiscuity
November 11, 2009
Nature, News & Views

"Most drugs are intended to be selective for a single protein target, but will commonly bind to several other targets too. Some 'off-target' events induce side effects of varying degrees of severity, though some may be essential for a drug's efficacy."

NYSCF Applauds NIH's Approval of Stem Cell Lines
Today, Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announced that 13 new stem cell lines have been approved for federal research support. The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) is very proud that Dr. Scott Noggle, the Director of the NYSCF Stem Cell Laboratory, derived 2 of the newly-approved stem cell lines while he was at The Rockefeller University in Dr. Ali Brivanlou’s lab. All of the other lines were derived in a laboratory at Harvard University.
 
NYSCF-Druckenmiller Fellow Justin Ichida is Lead Author on Groundbreaking Study
NYSCF applauds NYSCF-Druckenmiller fellow Justin Ichida on his recently published work in Cell Stem Cell, bringing us closer to turning adult cells into patient-specific stem cells without the use of cancer causing genes. Building on the work of Lasker Prize-winning scientist Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD, Dr. Ichida and his colleagues at Harvard found a new and safer way to make stem cells by using chemicals to replace two of the four genes used to turn adult cells into induced pluiripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are very similar to embryonic stem cells.

 
NYSCF Awards Fellowships to Four Innovative Stem Cell Scientists
NYSCF today announced the award of four new NYSCF-Stanley and Fiona Druckenmiller Fellows.  These New York-based post-doctoral scientists join 13 extraordinarily accomplished stem cell researchers who have been supported by the fellowships program since 2006.
