Description:

Phase III Operations: The University is open for expanded research operations; only authorized personnel will be admitted on campus. More info here. Llamas make antibodies that are much smaller than their human counterparts, yet still potent. Scientists hope that future drugs based on these molecules could provide new weapons against SARS-CoV-2. A genomics study has identified a previously unknown cell type whose blood levels tend to rise and fall in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The findings could make it easier to manage the disease and help scientists understand its root causes. Thousands of years after humans discovered opioids, we鈥檙e just beginning to understand how these substances warp the brain and change behaviors. For the men and women of Plant Operations, there really was no university closure. Even as most of the university鈥檚 labs shut down, those that remained still semi-operational required support. According to this year鈥檚 CWTS Leiden Ranking of over 1100 universities from 65 countries, Rockefeller has the highest proportion of frequently cited scientific publications. Scientists have used advanced technology to 鈥渕icro-dissect鈥?the first brain cells to perish in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease. The result is a short list of genes that could represent new drug targets. The Aedes aegypti genome might hold clues for developing the most effective repellants yet鈥攊ncluding ones that make the mosquito unable to smell us, or less motivated to seek us out. The CFC鈥檚 team has had to pivot quickly to create new online programming to support their young charges and provide age appropriate education and enrichment鈥攁nd a measure of continuity.

Since its inception, Rockefeller鈥檚 graduate program in bioscience has granted doctor of philosophy degrees to more than 1,320 students, including this year's graduates. June 11, 2020A postdoctoral fellow in lab of聽Luciano Marraffini, Meeske is honored for his research on how bacteria cope with stresses in their environment. Albert J. Libchaber named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science November 26, 2019Libchaber is recognized for his contributions to the field of experimental condensed matter physics. Finding Antibodies that Neutralize SARS-CoV-2 The findings from the Nussenzweig lab help not only to understand the immune response to COVID-19, they are also critical for vaccine design, revealing what a strong neutralizing antibody for SARS-CoV-2 should look like to help the immune system win. The Virtuous Side of Viruses As drug-resistant superbugs spread, Vincent Fischetti and others are turning to microbes that kill bacteria. At a time when much of the world is besieged by a virus, it's good to know that these tiny invaders may someday save us. Seek magazine Fall 2019 Rockefeller鈥檚 flagship publication is interested not just in scientific results, but in the people, ideas, and conversations that ignite discovery. The latest issue takes a look at how cells and molecules are being stretched, tugged at, prodded鈥攁nd what we might learn about life by studying the physics of it. Also: How to starve a tumor, and much more.
