Applications are open for the Klarman Fellowship at @broadinstitute! We are looking for postdoctoral researchers to join the GaMBiT Initiative to develop innovative technologies that translate human genetic discoveries into disease mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic leads.
As we celebrate a decade of collaboration, HCA Co-Founder Sarah Teichmann shares why she and Aviv Regev joined forces to bring this international scientific consortium together. Hear Sarah tell the story.

Join us on October 29, from 6-8 pm for Discovery After Dark! Explore interactive exhibits, participate in hands-on activities, put your outbreak response skills to the test, and interact with Broad scientists! Advanced registration required. Register at: broad.io/DaD
On the tenth Anniversary of the launch meeting, we celebrate the first decade of the #HumanCellAtlas and what’s to come, with reflections from HCA Co-Founders Sarah Teichmann and Aviv Regev, and new Co-Chairs Muzlifah Haniffa and Alexandra-Chloé Villani. buff.ly/LMdeK3J
Fabulous to see this editorial from @NatureBiotech, highlighting HCA achievements and technologies over the past 10 years, and the ambitious plans for the future. Watch this space!

A new study led by @VamsiMootha shows that a newly optimized hypoxia-inducing drug combination greatly improved symptoms of neurodegeneration in mouse models of rare mitochondrial disease as well as a model of Parkinson’s disease. broad.io/hypoxia-in-a-pill

Open AI released around 400 solved math problems challenging traditional scientific discovery pipeline and raising even more questions who owns scientific discovery now. we asked editors-in-chief of Nature, Science and Cell who owns the credit human or AI: piped.video/Q04PAohvSYU
🧬New study by @Schmidt_Center former visiting fellow Lars Lorch & @arkrause, with @JiaqiZhangVic & Caroline Uhler, introduces latent causal diffusion (LCD) to predict transcriptional effects of unseen gene perturbation combinations and uncover direct gene-to-gene causal effects.
Can AI help researchers spot hidden clues about disease that other methods miss?
Researchers at @MassGenBrigham and @broadinstitute developed VIMA, an AI tool that identifies patterns in tissue data linked to rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and dementia. ⤵️
So excited to be selected one of STAT’s 2026 Wunderkinds. Huge thanks to my PhD advisors @VamsiMootha & Ben Neale + all my incredible mentors & colleagues. It's a huge honor to be in this inspiring cohort of scholars! @statnews#STATWunderkinds
Honored to be named a 2026 STAT Wunderkind 🎉!
The profile covers a question driving our work at the @broadinstitute/@Schmidt_Center: how can we connect ideas generated by AI to experiments that actually test them?
Grateful to our collaborators and the mentors who have supported me along the way. Thank you to @statnews for highlighting this work!
