Peter Walter attended the Freie Universität Berlin, received his MS in Organic Chemistry from Vanderbilt University in 1977, and his Ph.D. in Cell Biology at The Rockefeller University in 1981. In ...

My research interests revolve primarily around the use and development of genetical techniques to identify the molecular base of physiological responses in plants. Particular attention is given to ...

My research interests cover the processes for applying existing scientific knowledge to applications. Multi- and inter-disciplinary areas will be required and researches in these areas are urgently ...

John Valley is a geochemist recognized for his work on evolution of the Earth’s crust. He is particularly known for stable isotope studies of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks with ...

Marcia McNutt is a geophysicist and president of the National Academy of Sciences. From 2013 to 2016, she served as editor-in-chief of the Science journals. Prior to joining Science, she was director ...

Alex Vilenkin is a physicist recognized for his work on the early universe cosmology. He is known particularly for his studies of topological defects, eternal cosmic inflation, quantum cosmology, and ...

The goal of our research is to understand how and why our cells die through apoptosis and eventually use this knowledge to combat human diseases in which apoptosis becomes defective. These diseases ...

In 1984-1990, studies by my laboratory discovered the first degradation signals (N-degrons) in short-lived proteins; the singular biological significance of the ubiquitin system (until then, ubiquitin ...

Jelena Vuckovic is the Jensen Huang Professor in Global Leadership, a Professor of Electrical Engineering and by courtesy of Applied Physics at Stanford, where she leads the Nanoscale and Quantum ...

My primary area of research is string theory. String theory, a subject that is about four decades old, is at the center of efforts by theoretical physicists to find a unified fundamental quantum ...

Peter von Hippel and his associates are using physical biochemical approaches to study what might be called the molecular basis of gene expression. Most of their experimental work is now concerned ...

I have concentrated mainly on the development of novel laser spectroscopy technologies (e.g., velocity modulation spectroscopy, terahertz vibration-rotation-tunneling spectroscopy, cavity ringdown ...
