New research challenges the long-standing idea that most fixed genetic mutations are neutral. For many years, scientists studying evolution have believed that most genetic changes influencing how genes and proteins evolve are essentially…
Adedoyin Kukoyi is a woman who wears many hats, and this includes being a master of ceremonies, an entrepreneur with a successful restaurant business, an actress, a filmmaker, and a
Aldersley High School recently took part in National Biology Week, delivering a vibrant programme of activities in partnership with the Royal Society of Biology.
For the first time, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), the Society for Developmental Biology (SDB), and the Allen Institute are collaborating to present a three-day scientific symposium led by early-career scientists.
Using sophisticated RNA sequencing technology, biomedical researchers can measure the activity of our genes across millions of single cells, creating detailed maps of tissues, organs, and diseases.
The webinar will feature Dr. Holly L. Geyer, an associate professor of medicine and consultant in the Division of Hospital Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. Dr. Geyer brings her extensive clinical experience and research…
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan today announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind initiative combining frontier artificial intelligence and frontier biology to dramatically accelerate scientific progress toward understanding and…
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have found that an intensive retreat combining multiple mind-body techniques, including meditation and healing practices, produced rapid and wide-ranging changes in brain function and…
The billionaire couple is shifting the bulk of their philanthropic resources to Biohub, the pair’s science organization, and focusing on using artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific discovery.

For the past decade, Dr. Priscilla Chan, along with her husband Mark Zuckerberg, have focused part of their philanthropy on a lofty goal — “to cure, prevent or manage all disease” — if not in their lifetime, then in their children’s
The two main approaches for discovering disease genes reveal distinct aspects of biology, a new study shows. While both methods are widely used, the research found that they identify different genes, with major implications for drug…
