News & Events

A research team led by Dr. Jun-Yi Leu, an Associate Research Fellow at the Institute of Molecular Biology has discovered that the molecular chaperone Hsp90 can regulate non-genetic variation in response to environmental stress. This study was published in the journal Molecular Cell on April 11, 2013. The article was immediately recommended by Faculty of 1000 as being of special significance in its field.
