News & Events

Mirny research

In a surprising discovery, scientists find tiny loops in the genomes of dividing cells

Enabled by a new high-resolution mapping technique, the findings overturn a long-held belief that the genome loses its 3D structure when cells divide.

Sleep deprivation research

This is your brain without sleep

New research shows attention lapses due to sleep deprivation coincide with a flushing of fluid from the brain — a process that normally occurs during sleep.

Professor Ioannis Yannas, pioneer of regenerative medicine who invented artificial skin for the treatment of severe burns, dies at 90

A beloved member of the Department of Mechanical Engineering for nearly 60 years, and an HST faculty member, Yannas helped saved the lives of thousands of burn victims through his research and innovation.

Elazer Mercedes research

Imaging tech promises deepest looks yet into living brain tissue at single-cell resolution

By combining several cutting-edge imaging technologies, a new microscope system could enable unprecedentedly deep and precise visualization of metabolic and neuronal activity, potentially even in humans.

Jim Collins research

Scientists discover compounds that help cells fight a wide range of viruses

The molecules trigger a built-in cellular stress response and show promise as broad-spectrum antivirals against Zika, herpes, RSV, and more.
