We believe that the most transformative breakthroughs come when talented scientists are given the freedom to pursue bold ideas. That’s why we take a “people, not projects” approach, providing generous and flexible support to talented scientists so they can go where their science leads.

Jan 8, 2025 · The cohort includes early career scientists working in research areas ranging from treatment-resistant cancers to how animals evolved to live on land. The HHMI Hanna H. Gray Fellows Program provides each fellow with up to $1.5 …

Samuel Sternberg’s lab is broadly interested in discovering diverse, programmable functions of non-coding RNA molecules in the cell. From guiding the site-specific insertion of DNA transposons, to targeting foreign pathogens for DNA cleavage, to templating the synthesis of novel antiviral genes, RNAs direct remarkably complex biochemical reactions in coordination with accessory enzymes.

What am I looking at? These images show several views of the repeating units, called ommatidia (1), that make up the eye of a dragonfly. The colors you see in these images are the result of a process called fluorescence, which happens when you shine a laser onto a sample under a microscope.Different structures in the sample are stained different colors – the protein actin is green (2), the ...
