A rich program of lectures and seminars featuring internal and external speakers help Rockefeller scientists keep abreast of their colleagues’ work and forge fruitful interdisciplinary collaborations.
Research from Sohail Tavazoie providing the first evidence that our own genetics can promote metastasis is competing in #STATMadness—a tournament to find the best innovations in science and medicine.

In 1926, exactly 95 years ago today, Rockefeller's Clara J. Lynch demonstrated that cancer is heritable. Although the first cancer-causing gene would not be discovered until almost half a century later, Lynch noticed that certain laboratory mice developed cancer spontaneously. She performed a series of experiments, cross-breeding cancer prone mice and tracing how subsequent lineages appeared to inherit lung and breast cancer from their predecessors. Her conclusions pioneered the young field of cancer genetics, laying the groundwork for the now universal study of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Through her mouse experiments Lynch also eventually bred a unique strain of Swiss albino mice, which she shared with the broader scientific community. The descendants of Lynch's mice would become mainstays of biology research around the world. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2131108/... See MoreSee Less
#Juneteenth is now an official Rockefeller holiday! It is long past time that this historic milestone be commemorated on a national level, and the university’s decision to make it a holiday pays tribute to the importance of this day in American history and calls on each of us to do everything possible to create a more just and equitable society. ...

“It’s not particularly happy news,” said Michel Nussenzweig, an immunologist at Rockefeller University who was not involved in the new research. “But just knowing about it is good because then we can perhaps do something about it.” ... See MoreSee Less
Unlike their female counterparts, male mosquitoes have no desire to bite us. A study from Leslie Vosshall's lab shows that the hardware for host-seeking is hidden in the male mosquito brain, locked behind a simple genetic switch. #Rockefellerscience... See MoreSee Less
omg my first grad school co-author publication is the @RockefellerUniv representative! I never made the varsity basketball team but this is a nice alternative lmao. Go vote! https://t.co/A7vpsG2nDB https://t.co/P3z2WQitdq
