  1. David Breslow, Associate Professor in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, and his lab are using a genetic screening technique they developed that reveals an unprecedented view into the relationship between developing cells and disease.

    Illustration of the microscopy screening strategy. The basic steps include: 1) acquiring a microscopy image of cells with labeled cilia (green) and centrioles (magenta); 2) using AI-based image analysis to identify the cilia and centrioles within the image; 3) defining regions to target so that ciliated cells can be selectively marked by photoactivation; and 4) carrying out the photoactivation, which marks ciliated cells red and thus allows these cells to be isolated for further analysis.
  2. In a Q&A, trailblazing chemist and serial entrepreneur Craig Crews — whose third venture was recently acquired for more than $3 billion — discusses the transformative science emerging from Yale, and how bringing innovative ideas to market is good for the university and New Haven.

  6. Binyam Mogessie, Assistant Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, and Yale researchers have created a new method for simulating “aging-like” chromosome errors in mouse eggs to better understand female reproductive lifespan.

  7. In a new study, Yale researchers in the lab of David Breslow, Associate Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, identified a pathway that allows cells to “disassemble” their cilia before division — and found a possible connection to a neurological disorder.

  8. New FAS faculty member Harry McNamara is combining developmental biology, neurobiology, and biophysics to answer basic science questions about how cells communicate.

  9. AISES (American Indian Science and Engineering Society) is an organization dedicated to advancing Indigenous representation in STEM fields. Pyle has stepped up as Yale’s chapter advisor, supporting the students through funding guidance, networking, and constant encouragement.
