we are beyond proud that our Yale MB&B Christian Schlieker undergraduate researcher Sophia graduated as the sole Yale University Colleague '25 graduate with an exceptional distinction in the major! Congrats Sophia for this richly deserved honor!

Julien Berro thinks about the force – particularly around the 'cytoskeleton' scaffold inside our cells. The member of the Yale Nanobiology Institute spoke w/ Cytoskeleton Journal about the exciting projects that could pave the way to new medical therapeutics: bit.ly/berroforce

Join us in congratulating Tom Pollard on receiving the 2025 Connecticut Medal of Science! Tom and his wife Patty stopped by campus while in town for the award ceremony. 📸 : Joe Wolenski

We’ve pioneered a disease-agnostic screening platform for aberrant biomolecular condensates—cellular structures linked to incurable neurological diseases. We screened genes and FDA-approved drugs that modulate disease-relevant nuclear condensates: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
