Biobanking unearths samples that have been long lost in the backs of freezers and scientific information buried in dusty notebooks to make ground breaking discoveries for human health.

Philip Yeske was an organic chemist for more than 20 years, but when his daughter died from the rare mitochondrial disorder Leigh Syndrome, he turned to connecting researchers, patients, and law makers to speed the discovery of treatments.

People metabolize drugs differently, changing the effectiveness and toxicity of drugs between individuals. Genetic testing to identify mutations in metabolic genes that may affect how someone processes a drug is an important step towards precision medicine that is becoming more common in the clinic.

Psilocybin research was "outlawed" in the 70s, but it's back now. It may offer a powerful new tool for treating addictions to substances such as alcohol, cigarettes, and opioids.

Pregnant people with mental health disorders such as depression or bipolar disorder often face an impossible decision: risk their health or their future child's health by discontinuing or continuing their medication.

Christine Brown develops CAR T cell therapies that may one day provide a long-sought-after cure for malignant brain cancers.

Researchers are conducting the first long-term prospective study to understand the immune response to COVID-19 long after initial infection.

Researchers plan to monitor the immune responses of COVID-19 patients for one year to see how they correlate with illness severity and lasting effects. This data will help develop personalized treatments for patients.

An upcoming clinical study will test whether a B. infantis probiotic can prevent the development of type 1 diabetes in predisposed infants.

Sævik measures corticosteroid levels in people with Addison’s disease to challenge the pervasive idea that these patients lose all adrenal cortex function as their disease progresses.
