Congrats on the distinction!

[Pew Health @pewhealth]

We're thrilled to recognize three Pew biomedical scholars who were recently awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers by @POTUS.

Huge congratulations to @Neal_Lab, @alaurenoconnell, and Kassandra Ori-McKenney! 🎉

🎉 Excited to welcome Pew's new class of Innovation Fund awardees! Congrats to all!

[Pew Health @pewhealth]

Our 2024 Innovation Fund class is here🧬

16 scientists are teaming up to tackle major biomedical challenges.

From the gut microbiome to the brain’s innerworkings, their collaborative research is poised to transform health and medicine. This year's class👇https://t.co/6u6FynWxKQ

I am thrilled that we are amplifying our Latin American Fellow's program with CZI! Excited for this partnership!

[biohub @biohub]

In partnership with @Pewtrusts, we are supporting the Latin American Fellows program, which helps early-career biomedical scientists receive postdoctoral training + the resources they need to start a lab in their home country https://t.co/4uHG2noNeo

[Donna Dang, PhD @ddangphd]

This is super interesting! Glad Pew could support this work🙌🙌

This year’s chemistry laureates Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model, AlphaFold2, to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures.

Check out two examples of protein structures determined using AlphaFold2. First up, a bacterial enzyme that causes antibiotic resistance. The structure is important for discovering ways of preventing antibiotic resistance.

Imagine a world where creams could soothe the mind and offering a gentle touch could combat depression.

@IshmailSaboor is doing just that through his research on sensory perception through touch. 🎧 Listen now: https://t.co/ShnlGD1OzN

[Donna Dang, PhD @ddangphd]

We're bringing together neuroscientists with cancer biologists, people unlikely to cross paths in their careers, and it's only been enhancing scientific innovation. I talked on diversity in science on @pewtrusts "After the Fact" podcast. Listen here 👉 https://t.co/0SNJZknq63
