Why postgraduate studies in Biological Sciences in the UK? This particularly applies to the biological sciences where the UK is internationally recognised for its achievements in molecular biology, genomics and structural biology. Although the reputations of the old Universities at Oxford and Cambridge are probably familiar to you, it is important to realise that there has been a considerable investment in research infrastructure across the UK in recent years, providing you with a much wider choice of high quality research venues. The School of Biological Sciences in Southampton University, for example, has invested heavily during the last five years in new equipment and has recruited staff with strong research records across all areas. www.internationalgraduate.net /biology.htm   (510 words)

Division of Biological Sciences, UC San Diego Steve A. Kay, a pioneer in the biology of circadian rhythms at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, has been named dean of the Division of Biological Sciences at the University of California, San Diego. He assumes his new administrative position today, replacing Suresh Subramani, a professor of biological sciences who served as interim dean during the past year, and Eduardo Macagno, who was the founding dean of the division from 2001 to 2006. The achievement, detailed in a paper published in the October 18 issue of the journal Nature, could improve current antiviral regimens or result in new treatments that are more effective and possess fewer detrimental side effects for those with the Hepatitis C virus infection, which frequently leads to liver cirrhosis and/or liver cancer. www-biology.ucsd.edu   (433 words)
