Michael Young won the 2017 @nobelprize.org for his discovery of how genes control the 24-hour circadian rhythm. His work explains how internal clocks regulate sleep, eating behavior and metabolism. 26 scientists have won Nobel Prizes in our 125 year history. #125YearsofRockefeller

In @cellpress.bsky.social: @sohailtavazoie.bsky.social's lab has discovered that #arginine deficiency interferes with #immunesystem gene expression. Increasing arginine in combination with other therapies could be used to help treat both #cancer and #viralinfections. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4pSQQ9g

This #WorldHepatitisDay, we recognize the power of scientific discovery to change lives. Rockefeller's Charles Rice was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries that led to the identification and control of the hepatitis C virus.

Congrats to Rockefeller's @tomaskay.bsky.social of @danielkronauer.bsky.social's lab, who has been named a 2026 Branco Weiss Fellow! Tomas investigates how cooperation and competition shape the evolution of animal societies, aiming to identify the traits that determine evolutionary success.

In @natmethods.nature.com: A tool from the #VaziriLab reveals how signals flow, cells connect, and computations emerge in a living mouse brain. FlatMux sets new benchmarks, imaging activity from ~200 neurons, deep in the mammalian brain, and across layers. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4hrbhaS

A @nature.com study from the #RutaLab reveals how fruit flies store a #memory of how to relocate a #scent, even after it disappears. It depends a #brain region used by insects for #spatialnavigation, showing that odor tracking is not simply reflexive. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4wrKEHB

Rockefeller's Charlie Rice has discovered that the brain prepares for a potential viral attack in advance, thanks to a signaling network that transmits advanced intelligence about infection from distal regions of the body. @cp-immunity.bsky.social 🔗: https://bit.ly/4hdtQ28

New findings from Rockefeller's Robert Roeder in @cp-molcell.bsky.social could illuminate how the epigenetic modifier MLL4 helps switch genes on—including #cancer genes in #leukemia. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4yg5afE

A new study from Rockefeller's @danielkronauer.bsky.social in @nature.com finds that parenting behavior in ants—who are highly attuned to their young—appears to have evolved in by repurposing ancient neural circuits rather than inventing entirely new brain systems. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4vUY6Uc

RockEDU’s long-running "Jumpstart" program at Rockefeller gives NYC high school students access to authentic research experiences and a chance to envision themselves as scientists. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4oW9dta

Sean Brady's approach to finding and studying drug candidates has identified new types of antibiotics. With better gene sequencing technologies the promise of improved AI modeling, Brady says what he’s found thus far is just the tip of the iceberg. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4ggBc4L

This #AlzheimersandBrainAwarenessMonth we’re highlighting Rockefeller’s Nathaniel Heintz, whose work has helped identify abnormal pathways that feed into the plaques and tangles of Alzheimer's, which may help stop the disease before these pathologies develop.

Chris Giuliano of the Birsoy lab has been selected as a 2026 #JCCFellow by @jcchildsfund.bsky.social! Giuliano studies how microbes share and trade nutrients to help reveal novel ways to treat cancer. Congratulations, Chris!

A new protein-tracing platform from Rockefeller's Ekaterina Vinogradova and Paul Cohen in @cellpress.bsky.social reveals how fat and liver cells communicate during fasting, inflammation, and obesity, and links many of those signals to human disease. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4uOU9ik

Alexander Lercher of Rockefeller's Rice lab studies how fighting off one virus changes the way the immune system responds to a totally unrelated one. His work is uncovering immune pathways that let our bodies adapt to viral threats over time. 🔗: https://bit.ly/43GfYWw

Rockefeller's @steve-bonilla.bsky.social has been named a 2026 scholar by @pew.org! Steve is recognized for his work investigating how RNA molecules fold into three-dimensional structures to drive complex biological processes. Congratulations!

A new study from Hermann Steller and colleagues identifies genetic mutations that interfere with the body’s ability to degrade the protein clumps characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4oC4AEI

Last month, Rockefeller's Women & Science initiative held its annual spring event featuring our very own Vanessa Ruta, where she spoke about her pioneering research deciphering how smell works.

The @victora.bsky.social lab at Rockefeller has turned germinal centers into a living laboratory for one of biology's oldest questions: how much of #evolution is shaped by chance? Learn more in this Q&A with Victora and graduate fellow Ashni Vora: https://bit.ly/4fB23bm

Congratulations to Lucas Tian, recipient of the 2026 Tri-I Breakout Award! Lucas is being recognized for pioneering research that explores one of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience: how the brain uses existing knowledge to solve entirely new problems.

A new study from Rockefeller's @victora.bsky.social in @cellpress.bsky.social reveals how germinal centers produce powerful antibodies through noisy rounds of mutation and selection, offering new insight into vaccine design—and larger themes in evolution. 🔗: https://bit.ly/3Sor6Ve

Congratulations to Rockefeller’s #classof2026, here’s to your next adventure! 🍾 🔬 🎉 #PHDone

How can a brain no bigger than a poppy seed offer insights into the mechanisms by which humans navigate the world and make choices? Rockefeller's Gaby Maimon addresses this question, and more, in a #SeekMagazine interview: https://bit.ly/4ogZv4n

A new study from the @rocklabtb.bsky.social in @natmicrobiol.nature.com finds that one of the most common drug resistance mutations in #tuberculosis creates subtle metabolic weaknesses that could be exploited with future combination therapies. 🔗: https://bit.ly/3RG6wj2

This #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth, we’re highlighting Rockefeller's Elaine Fuchs, who has spent decades studying skin stem cells and what happens when they turn dysfunctional. Her work has shed light on how they can become the seeds of cancer or chronic inflammation.

2026 marks a major milestone for Rockefeller: 125 years ago, the university was founded as the Rockefeller Research Institute. In this in-depth Q&A, President Rick Lifton discusses the enduring power of our guiding mission. #125YearsofRockefeller 🔗: https://bit.ly/3RAUzeq

The transition from undergraduate science to professional research can be daunting. Rockefeller's Research Assistant Association is designed to build community and skills among its early-career scientists. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4tVe278
