The past few months have shown how difficult—and how important—it is to be able to understand how a disease really works. Scientists and researchers at the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic are rapidly learning everything they can about the novel coronavirus: how it functions, how different cells in the body react...

SFARI’s (Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative) mission is to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders by funding innovative research of the highest quality and relevance. The grant awarded will support research that investigates genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, neural circuits changes and the development of genetic therapies...

The National Institute of Aging (NIA) has selected graduate student Rachel Battaglia as a recipient of the very competitive Transition to Aging Research Award for Predoctoral Students (F99/K00). The NIA selects only 7-10 award recipients each year.  Click here to read Vital Signs article.

Drs. Sarah Cohen & Mohanish Deshmukh will use multicolor live-cell imaging to understand how stem cells reorganize as they differentiate into neurons and glia. Their long term goals are to determine whether defects in organelle dynamics are a fundamental feature of neurodegenerative disease. This project combines Dr. Cohen’s expertise in...

Please join us in congratulating, Hernán Mendez (Kathleen Caron Lab), for being selected as a 2020 HHMI Gilliam Fellow. The goal of this graduate fellowship program is to increase the diversity among scientists who are prepared to assume leadership roles in science, particularly as college and university faculty. The program...

Over the past year, 17 CZI Imaging Scientists — engineers, physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists and biologists — have been working in imaging cores and centers across the U.S. to advance the research and tools necessary to understand and identify disease. They have designed new workshops and courses, updated imaging core...
