With dogged persistence and an unwillingness to entertain defeat, Bruce Beutler discovered a receptor that powers the innate immune response to infections—and earned his share of a Nobel Prize.
While exploring the genetics of a rare type of tumor, Stephen Baylin discovered an epigenetic modification that occurs in most every cancer—a finding he’s helping bring to the clinic.
First, Aravinda Chakravarti drew a map of how scientists might unravel the genetics of complex disease. Then he blazed the trail.
In exploring how embryos take shape, John Wallingford has identified a key pathway involved in vertebrate development—and human disease.
For Michael Dickinson, Drosophila are more than winged gene holders—they’re sophisticated systems for translating sensory information into flight instructions.
With persistence and pluck, Leslie Vosshall managed to snatch insect odorant receptors from the jaws of experimental defeat.
Inspired by Darwin, Mohamed Noor has uncovered the molecular dance by which a single species becomes two.
Elaine Mardis can make DNA sequencers sing, generating genome data that shed light on evolution and disease.
Philippa “Pippa” Marrack has made some unanticipated discoveries about how the immune system functions in health and disease.
