Anja Bielinsky is January’s featured Faculty Member of the Month. She has been a Member of the Cell Biology Faculty since March 2012. Faculty Members (FMs) are acknowledged experts invited to recommend the articles that are included in F1000Prime. They review the articles, write brief comments, and score the articles.
Alice Moscovici spoke with Beth Schoen, a Fulbright Postdoctoral Research Fellow as well as American Association for University Women Postdoctoral Fellow in the lab for Cancer Drug Delivery & Cell Based Technologies at Technion in Haifa, Israel, about the importance of collaboration in scientific research, in particular for young scientists.
Almost 300 years after Laura Maria Caterina Bassi became the first woman to earn a professorship at a university in Europe, women still comprise less than one fifth of professors across that continent. In an opinion article published this month on F1000Research, Lynn Kamerlin, who runs a lab in the cell and molecular biology department…

Since the first reports of AIDS, approximately 36 million people have died from the disease, with an estimated 35 million living with HIV. Drug therapy consists of HAART, highly active antiretroviral therapy, which slows progression of the disease and lessens risk of death. Today, researchers are closer than ever to finding a functional cure and…
Next Wednesday (March 26th) F1000 arrive in Cambridge for the next F1000 Meetup. This event is open to all life science researchers and clinicians in the Cambridge area. If you’re nearby please join us in Baroosh for an evening of discussing life science, publishing, careers and much more. Drinks and snacks are provided throughout the…
