translational research

At Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the cancer biologist is combining research into the tumor microenvironment with the principles of neuroscience to tease apart how cancers grow—and how to stop them.

Scientists engineered a lung-on-a-chip model from patient cells that mimics cystic fibrosis.

Erika Moore builds biomaterials to study disparate lupus outcomes.

Researchers involved in an eight-year project to reproduce the findings of more than 50 high-impact papers struggled to get enough information to even carry out most of the experiments.

Transplanted CAR stem cells persisted long term and showed multilineage engraftment in tissues that harbor HIV.

Researchers developed a new CAR T-cell therapy that targets specific growth factor receptors in glioblastoma to eliminate brain tumors.

Pairing CARs with a synthetic receptor makes T cells more lethal tumor killers.

A physician and neurobiologist at the Rockefeller University who specialized in addiction research, Kreek was best known for her work on developing the treatment for heroin addiction.

A study in patients identifies a nontraditional immune pathway that can cause a severe reaction to anesthetic drugs.

A new set of engineered receptors responds to an FDA-approved drug to provide the most potent chemogenetic toolkit to date.

A needle-free alternative to the finger-prick test would be a godsend for many sufferers of diabetes, but the industry has yet to clear the technological hurdles.

The Scripps Research Institute will join forces with the California Institute for Biomedical Research.
