Dr. Cláudia Carvalho and her team at PNRI are on a mission to diagnose rare diseases that have long baffled the medical community. With a focus on genetic structural variants, often undetected in standard tests, their work is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in genetics.
PNRI’s Dr. Michael Metzger kicks off Tech Alliance’s 2024-25 Discovery Series on Friday, September 13th at Slalom Hawk Tower. Join us for this presentation!
Explore Dr. Michael Metzger’s groundbreaking research on contagious cancer in clams, uncovering insights that could revolutionize cancer treatment in humans.
Explore how two decades of diabetes research by Dr. Bill Hagopian and Michael Killian at PNRI have paved the way for groundbreaking discoveries in type 1 diabetes prevention.
The Summer Undergraduate Research Internship (SURI) is integral in PNRI, where scientists value mentoring the next generation. This summer we proudly hosted ten exceptional interns with diverse interests and career goals as they got hands-on training in our laboratories.
PNRI’s Dr. Lisa Stubbs explores where nature meets nurture, studying how genetics and stress intersect to shape brain development and pregnancy outcomes, and uncovering protective genes against gestational diabetes.
PNRI Science: Mystery & Discovery goes beyond the jargon to explore the passion and people at the forefront of genetic research. Our host, Jack Faris, PNRI CEO, interviews PNRI’s brilliant scientists to share what excites them about genetic research, what inspired them to become scientists, and those myths about science they would love to bust.…
Join us for an engaging Q&A with PNRI’s Dr. Rick McLaughlin as he explores the mysteries of our DNA, focusing on the 98% once considered “junk.” Discover how his groundbreaking research on transposable elements is transforming our understanding of genetics and its impact on diseases like lupus and cancer. Learn about his journey, the exciting…
Researchers in PNRI’s Carvalho Lab, in collaboration with other institutions, have uncovered how specific DNA rearrangements called inverted triplications contribute to the development of various genetic diseases. This discovery opens new avenues for understanding and treating rare genetic disorders.
For three dynamic days, participants immersed themselves in solving genetic mysteries in PNRI’s first-ever Rare Disease Hackathon. Read on to learn about their mission to uncover disease-causing genetic variants in unresolved rare disease families.
