Some people’s immunes systems don’t respond to vaccines as expected. New analysis may help identify these individuals before their jabs.

This postdoctoral researcher studies how gut microbial metabolites drive chronic metabolic and age-related diseases.

Some mouth bacteria migrate to the gut in gastrointestinal cancers, opening possibilities for more convenient cancer diagnostic tests.

Ancient gene duplications gave grasses a competitive edge over other plants, opening a path for engineering plants with increased resilience and energy storage.

AI translators can bridge the gap between bench scientists and software engineers, making artificial intelligence effective in biotechnology research.

From smart packages to bio-based coatings, researchers innovate on ways to reduce food contamination and extend produce shelf life, aiming to curb global food loss.

Synthesizing amino acids currently relies heavily on agriculture. Producing these molecules directly from methanol could offer a more sustainable alternative.

This postdoctoral researcher examines how alcohol, stress, and capsaicin accelerate T cell exhaustion and tests a repurposed drug to restore cancer immunotherapy.

RNA opens a window into biology in motion, shifting molecular diagnostics from measuring more biology to finding the right biology in time to change patient care.

People who live past 100 years old appear to have an abundance of specialized T cells that may help protect them against infection and cancer.

This postdoctoral researcher uses theoretical models to study nanoscale forces and guide the development of future nanodevices and quantum technologies.

Proposed OMB grant review changes could shift science funding from peer-reviewed to subject to political whims, impacting drug development and patient care.
