NCCIH Lecture: Watch Your Step, There Is New Chemistry Everywhere
NCCIH Integrative Medicine Research Lecture
The characterization of biologically active small molecules (natural products) produced by easily cultured bacteria has been a rewarding avenue for identifying novel therapeutics. The characterization of biologically active small molecules (natural products) produced by easily cultured bacteria has been a rewarding avenue for identifying novel therapeutics, as well as gaining insights into how bacteria interact with the world around them. Large-scale sequencing of bacterial genomic and metagenomic DNA indicates that the traditional pure culture – based approach to studying bact...

There's much to learn from animal warfare, even when the animals are barely visible.
The seemingly peaceful atmosphere in an organic garden on the University of Florida campus belies the battles happening among many of its tiniest inhabitants--the insects. For entomologist Christine Miller, there are endless opportunities here to study how insects compete and even fight for a ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)
