It’s asking different questions, pioneering new ways of working, and reaching across disciplines to spark discovery. It’s taking bold, unconventional approaches to solving hard problems. It’s following the science and our instincts, knowing that every advance can lead to new answers and unexpected possibilities. But we can’t do this alone. Join our community in supporting fearless science. Learn More Meet Our Researchers View All Faculty & Labs Cell Biology Plumbing the Secrets of Immortality Seventeen years ago, Dr. Mark Roth took an enormous leap into the study of suspended animation, a dormant state that can extend life under harsh conditions. He found that iodide has a unique ability to act as a continually renewable antioxidant, and it may be nature’s secret to help animals successfully reanimate after naturally dropping their metabolic rate in hibernation. Since then, his work has kicked off clinical trials that showed iodide can protect patients from trauma damage by safely reanimating dying tissue. Genetics and Genomics How Cells Package Their DNA — and Why If you removed the DNA from a human cell, unraveled it and laid it end to end, the whole thing would stretch about 7 feet. Dr. Toshio "Toshi" Tsukiyama has spent his career studying how all that genetic material gets squeezed into a microscopic cell. His work improves our understanding of how normal cells function and may also be a step toward improving...
