Meritxell Huch tackled her pipedream of growing three-dimensional pancreatic tissue in a dish.

Vaccination has beaten back infections for more than a century. Now, it may be the next big step in battling cancer.

A growing appreciation of the bacterial assemblages that live within tumors has researchers striving to understand and capitalize on their role.

Biofilms are home to millions of microbes, but disrupting their interactions could produce more effective antibiotics.

The 2018 award goes to Frances Arnold, Gregory Winter, and George Smith.

A device dubbed the “mother machine” enables real-time observation of mutagenesis in single bacterial cells.  

A guide to DNA-encoded libraries for drug discovery

Bacteria-infecting viruses affect the composition and behavior of microbes in the mammalian gut—and perhaps influence human biology.

George Church is at it again, this time using multiplex gene editing to create virus-proof cells, improve organ transplant success, and protect elephants.
