One year after the Blavatnik Family Foundation announced a $200 million commitment to Harvard Medical School, philanthropist Len Blavatnik spent the day at HMS visiting with scientists to learn more about research taking place on campus.

Study shows tumors with softer, larger cells at their periphery are more likely to spread; may suggest new route for cancer therapy.

New research reveals how mTORC1 docks at lysosomal surface.

Researchers grow brains in a lab and discover that human neurons develop more slowly than those of other primates.

Testing platform will allow the research community to explore the human microbiome in new ways.

For the first time, Harvard researchers have captured images of individual viruses forming, offering a real-time view into the kinetics of viral assembly.

Scientists have recently discovered that different diets — say, high-fat versus low-fat, or plant-based versus animal-based — can rapidly and reproducibly alter the composition and activity of the gut microbiome, where differences in the composition and activity can affect everything from metabolism to immunity to behavior.

Lehmann, a world-renowned developmental and cell biology researcher, is the institute’s fifth director.

Detailed observations in the lateral septum indicate region processes movement and reward information to help direct behavior.
