from any other single infectious disease. Estimates till date ascertain the fact that Tuberculosis (TB) is continuing to be the leading cause of death worldwide. The infection from single infectious agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis is killing about 3 million individuals every year and accounts for around 18.5% of all deaths in adults between the age group of 15 and 65. An average of 1.79 billio...

The low incidence of hepatitis in the staff of clinical laboratories in Britain was sustained in 1977-78. The attack rate was 29 per 100,000 person years, calculated from eight cases (six of hepatitis B).

An increasing number of laboratories are using the COPAS Biosort™ to implement high-throughput approaches to tackle diverse biological problems. While providing a powerful tool for generating quantitative data, the utility of the Biosort is currently limited by the absence of resources for data management. We describe a simple electronic database designed to allow easy storage and retrieval of ...

Jonathan Ewbank received his Ph.D. training in biophysics with Tom Creighton in the MRC LMB in Cambridge and the EMBL in Heidelberg. After a productive spell in Ulrich Hartl’s lab, then at the Sloan Kettering Laboratory in New York, working on the interaction of folding proteins and chaperones, he switched fields to do a post-doc with Siegfried Hekimi at McGill University in Montreal, studying ...
