This video explores the cutting-edge advances in biotechnology springing forth from UC Berkeley, UC San Francisco, and UC Santa Cruz. Among these advances are surgical robots that will allow doctors to remotely operate half a world away, artificial organs that could put an end to diabetes, and the next miracle drugs mined from the ocean floor.

By custom-engineering yeast to produce the powerful antimalaria drug, artemisinin, Jay Keasling reduced the cost of the life-saving treatment from dollars to pennies per dose. Now Keasling is leading a team of researchers as they engineer bacteria to convert waste-plant material into the hydrocarbons that our economy relies upon. In this video Keasling discusses the new field of synthetic biology.

Eva Nogales reviews the physical principles underlying image formation by the interaction of electrons with matter and introduces basic and advanced instruments and sample preparation techniques. Using a number of biological examples from work in her lab, she describes the capabilities of the Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methodology. Special emphasis is placed on the image processing methods used to obtain three-dimensional information from TEM data.

Carolyn Bertozzi lectures on the subject of chemical glycobiology explaining how a large part of an organism's complexity is not encoded by its genome but results from post-translational modifications such as slycosylation, or the addition of sugar molecules to a protein. Cell surface sugars or glycans determine human blood types, allow viral infections, and play a key role in tissue inflammation.

Synthetic biology has the potential to dramatically change fields from agriculture to medicine to zoology. But how will society cope with the ability for a lone researcher to, for example, build a polio virus from scratch in a private lab? And as researchers draw nearer to the ability to design and grow totally new organisms, what planning and protections need to be in place to cope with the consequences? Synberc researchers Paul Rabinow and Drew Endy answer these and other questions on NPR's Science Friday program.

Stanley Hall was built to accommodate a highly interdisciplinary approach to bioscience research, targeting new treatments for diseases, more environmentally friendly sources of energy and better ways to clean up pollutants. This series of videos includes interviews with Professor Susan Marqusee who tells about the vision of Stanley Hall, Bio-engineering lecturer Terry Johnson, Mechanical Engineering graduate student Jeanne Stachowiak, and Chemistry Professor David Wemmer.
