Naukowcy coraz lepiej rozumieją biologię wirusów

W renomowanym czasopiśmie „Nucleic Acids Research”, wydawanym od 1974 roku przez Oxford University Press, ukazał się artykuł poświęcony kompleksowi nsp14, nap16 i nsp10, który jest odpowiedzialny za metylację koronawirusowego RNA. Publikacja jest efektem pracy naukowców z Małopolskiego Centrum Biotechnologii UJ, prowadzonej pod kierunkiem prof. Krzysztofa Pyrć oraz dr Anny Czarnej, w ścisłej współpracy z Instytutem Helmholtza w Monachium.

GlycoSHIELD - a revolutionary approach to fast visualization of proteins and sugars

Dr Mateusz Sikora from the Małopolska Centre of Biotechnology of the Jagiellonian University (JU MCB) has developed a novel approach to predict how sugars form shields around proteins. This new computational approach, GlycoSHIELD, was created as a result of Polish-German collaboration within the framework of the Max Planck Dioscuri programme, in a Dioscuri Centre established in 2023 at the MCB as well as collaboration with the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) in Paris and the Academia Sinica (Taiwan).

Student of the Jagiellonian University joins EMBL Heidelberg

Jakub Jeżowski, student of a joint programme of the the Małopolska Centre of Biotechnology (MCB) and the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology, has been awarded an EMBL fellowship for predoctoral researchers, allowing him to join the EMBL International PhD Programme and conduct his PhD thesis at EMBL Heidelberg.

How to make a protein from methylated mRNA

“Transcription” is a cellular process that allows genetic information to flow from DNA to mRNA. During a subsequent step, called “translation”, the resulting mRNA molecules are translated into amino acid chains that fold into cellular proteins and carry out almost all functions in our bodies. This basic principle becomes more intricate by the existence of naturally occurring RNA modifications, and extensive scientific efforts around the globe are underway to decipher their precise role.

Viruses, bacteria and public health: an analysis of the risks at the European Games 2023 in Krakow

In less than a month, the Kraków-Malopolska European Games, the biggest sporting event in the country's history, will begin. From 21 June to 2 July, the best athletes from 48 European countries will compete for medals in 29 disciplines. According to scientists from the Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology at Jagiellonian University, this is an excellent opportunity to study the impact of organising such a large event and the arrival of a large number of athletes, coaches, activists and fans on the broader health of Krakow's residents.

Researchers from the MCB, Jagiellonian University, are at the forefront of studying the most unique posttranslational modification in the human proteome

"Perły nauki" awarded to M.Sc. eng. Witold Wydmański from the Małopolska Centre of Biotechnology of Jagiellonian University.

The Ministry of Education and Science has launched the first edition of "Perły Nauki", the successor of "Diamentowy Grant". Witold Wydmański, M.Sc. eng, from the Bioinformatics Research Group of the Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology, is one of the 98 winners of the "Perły Nauki". The purpose of this competition is to support exceptionally talented undergraduates or students in their third or fourth year of a unified master's programme. Candidates' projects must receive at least two positive reviews from external experts to be eligible for funding.
