Lessons From COVID-19
What lessons can be learned from the COVID-19 pandemic to successfully manage future health crises? This Topic Cluster explores the implications of the corona crisis for business, science and policy with contributions from Nobel Laureates Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, Aaron Ciechanover, Peter C. Doherty and Saul Perlmutter, among others.
Hepatitis C Cure and Beyond
Charles M. Rice takes you through an abbreviated journey of the discovery of the hepatitis C virus. He shows the current state of research in terms of being able to treat the disease as well as the future barriers we still have to overcome. Despite the remarkable progress in the treatment of the hepatitis C virus, the disease remains a global challenge.
Invention of New Reactions
Chemical reactions have often been discovered by accident. In his lecture given at the 1986 Lindau Meeting, Nobel Laureate Sir Derek H.R. Barton, who discovered what is known today to be the Barton reaction, describes several chemical reactions that do not obey the statistical laws of chemistry but have occurred by chance.
Click Chemistry
What can be understood by click-chemistry and what methodological principles does it draw on? The Topic Cluster provides a comprehensive introduction to the development and medical use of click chemistry, for which K. Barry Sharpless, Morten Meldal and Carolyn R. Bertozzi were awarded the 2022 Chemistry Nobel Prize.
Impact of Biological, Human and Machine Intelligence
Artificial intelligence has come of age, but how can it be successfully applied to healthcare? Michael Levitt proposes the union of biological, human & artificial intelligences on earth (BI, HI & AI) as synergist, self-amplifying cycle that can help to detect diseases earlier and provide better health care for people.
