@rockefeller.eduThe Rockefeller University
@rockefeller.edu
The Rockefeller University is a world-renowned center for research and graduate education in the biomedical sciences, chemistry, bioinformatics and physics.
@rockefeller.edu@rockefeller.eduCongratulations to Barbara Bosch, a 2026 Blavatnik Regional Awards Laureate!
She is recognized for advancing drug discovery for priority pathogens, including #TB, by developing high-throughput methods to identify and screen novel bacterial inhibitors.
@rockefeller.eduNeion Bio is a biotech startup at Rockefeller’s Ford Center Incubator that is looking to turn the most efficient protein-producing machine nature ever designed—chicken eggs—into high-quality protein factories.
@rockefeller.eduRockefeller's C. David Allis revolutionized our understanding of how genes are expressed. His discoveries ushered in the modern era of chromatin biology and epigenetics and laid the foundation for new approaches to treating cancer and other diseases.
@rockefeller.eduAt the SNF Nostos Conference this summer, Rockefeller scientists discussed how enhanced global access and public participation can help ensure that science best serves the general public.
@rockefeller.eduCongratulations to Rockefeller's Trevor van Eeuwen of the Rout lab, a 2026 Blavatnik Awards Regional Laureate!
@rockefeller.eduRockefeller's @hirofunabiki.bsky.social studies how chromosomes are copied and maintained. In this Q&A, he discusses how this #basicresearch is shedding light on #cancer, rare #immunediseases, and even how our bodies recognize #viruses.
@rockefeller.eduTHREE Rockefeller scientists are being honored by the Blavatnik Awards this year!
Trevor van Eeuwen of the #RoutLab and Barbara Bosch of the #CampbellLab have been named 2026 Laureates. Andreas Mueller of the #DarstLab has been named a finalist.
Congratulations! 🎉 🔬 🎉
@rockefeller.eduHappy first day of fall from our beautiful campus 🍁 🍂 🍁
@rockefeller.eduWe are thrilled to announce that molecular biologist and neuroscientist Catherine Dulac of @harvardmcb.bsky.social is the 2026 winner of Rockefeller's Pearl Meister Greengard Prize!
Register now for the award ceremony on Oct 20.
@rockefeller.eduCysteine is essential for life, but toxic in excess. A new study from Rockefeller's Kivanc Birsoy in @natmetabolism.nature.com reveals why: free cysteine can unleash stored iron, overwhelming mitochondria and triggering a form of cell death.
@rockefeller.eduA large clinical trial led by Rockefeller's Nussenzweig lab in @natmed.nature.com reveals how bNAbs work together with antibodies produced by a patient's immune system to keep #HIV in check, results that may inform HIV therapy.

@rockefeller.eduRockefeller's Svetlana Mojsov has been named a Citation Laureate 2026 by @clarivateag.bsky.social!
Mojsov is recognized for contributions that were pivotal to the discovery and development of GLP-1-based therapies.
@rockefeller.eduRockefeller grad student Natalie Alexander of @thefuchslab.bsky.social investigates the connection between #obesity and #inflammation in skin—a focus she crafted by following her curiosity through different labs and scientific disciplines.
@rockefeller.eduA recent study from Rockefeller's Vanessa Ruta found that when flies encounter a tasty smell, they stroll in and out of the odor plume—a process that depends on encoding a memory of the angle needed to travel back to the plume.
@callimcflurry.bsky.social explains in @thetransmitter.bsky.social:
@rockefeller.eduRockefeller's Paul Cohen is featured in @washingtonpost.com today! @gretchenxreynolds.bsky.social reports on his work suggesting that 3 minutes of intense exercise may have more beneficial impacts on our physiology and health than 90 minutes of more moderate exertion.
@rockefeller.eduIn 1964, R. Bruce Merrifield published one of the most cited papers in scientific history, unveiling a method for synthesizing large peptides that later drove transformative advancements in drug development. In 1984, he won the @nobelprize.org in Chemistry. #125YearsofRockefeller
@rockefeller.eduThen and Now: Rockefeller's @junyuecao.bsky.social! Don't miss this article from @thescientist.bsky.social on how Cao's work on the genomics of aging has evolved.
@rockefeller.edu@rockefeller.eduRockefeller researcher H. Keffer Hartline relied on the optical system of the horseshoe crab to make @nobelprize.org-winning discoveries about the complex interplay between the eye and the brain—work that inspired another Rockefeller laureate, Torsten Wiesel. #125YearsofRockefeller
