The Harvard Medical School researcher’s work on the genetic basis of protein coding and production led him to make groundbreaking discoveries in immunology, molecular biology, and cancer genetics.

New details of the molecular process by which our cells consume themselves point to therapeutic potential.

The scientific community bid farewell to researchers who furthered the fields of molecular biology, virology, sleep science, and immunology, among others.

Conversations between the immune and central nervous systems are proving to be essential for the healthy social behavior, learning, and memory.
