Breaker, a field-leading biochemist and Yale leader, will serve as the FAS dean of science for a five-year term.

Berro, Associate Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, joins the Biohub’s Immune Cell Reprogramming program, where his research will focus on developing programmable mechano-transducers for precision diagnostics and therapeutics. This prestigious recognition supports innovative, high-impact research through unrestricted funding and access to a cutting-edge collaborative community in New York.

Karla Neugebauer, R. Selden Rose Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry and Professor of Cell Biology, was recently featured in a Nature Methods profile about a nascent community of researchers working to bridge molecular and planetary scales — bringing the tools and perspectives of cell biology to bear on questions of urgent global importance

Andrew Miranker, Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, spoke to the journal Science the “molecular archive” found in the oil paintings of Ralph Albert Blakelock. By extracting DNA and proteins from microscopic samples of paint, he and other scientists are using arteomics to uncover hidden biological clues.

Susan Baserga, William H. Fleming Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, and F. Kenneth Nelson, Research Scientist and Senior Lecturer Emeritus in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, were elected to the latest class of fellows for the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Christian Schlieker, Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, is featured in the Spring 2026 issue of Dystonia Dialogue, the publication of the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF).

Ronald Breaker, Sterling Professor of Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology and Professor of Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry, reflects on his career and his discovery of riboswitches—ancient RNA devices that sense molecules and control genes.

Shulman, Sterling Professor Emeritus of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, died on Jan. 11, 2026.

Using machine learning, postdoctoral researcher Ran Meng and Yale researchers in the lab of Mark Gerstein, Albert L. Williams Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, have developed a new imaging technique that can unlock signs of aging and disease in human cells.

In an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times, Mark Gerstein (Albert L Williams Professor of Biomedical Informatics; Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry and of Computer Science and of Statistics & Data Science) writes that because powerful technologies can become destructive, artificial intelligence companies must be responsible stewards of their creations.
