We are drawn to the difficult problems, the ones for which prevailing science does not yet have a framework to understand.

Drawing inspiration from our gut protection mechanisms, ̽»¨ÏµÁÐ researchers have engineered a new type of sensor to monitor substances over long stretches – measuring reactions for up to a week after being implanted in living rats.

̽»¨ÏµÁÐ researchers have developed a technology that delivers RNA to damaged neurons and stimulates regrowth – paving the way for potential treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and spinal muscular atrophy.

Knight Initiative researchers have discovered a biomarker in spinal fluid that could help forecast the progression of Alzheimer’s and improve clinical trials.

Education
