Can collaboration across disciplines unlock answers to the challenges of our time? The NOMIS Foundation and the Collegium Helveticum believe it can. Together, they have initiated a partnership to support […]

Discovery is what moves us forward — as individuals, as societies, as humankind. It invites us to explore the unknown, to look closer, and to imagine what lies beyond the […]

NOMIS Awardee Anne Brunet has been granted an NIH Director’s Pioneer Award as part of the National Institutes of Health’s High-Risk, High-Reward Research program. The award will support Brunet’s investigation […]

Inhibitors of the protein kinase WEE1 have emerged as promising agents for cancer therapy. In this study, we uncover synergistic interactions between WEE1 small-molecule inhibitors and defects in mRNA translation, […]

NOMIS Awardees Andrea Ablasser, Anthony Hyman and David Autor have been named 2025 Clarivate Citation Laureates, honored for their Nobel-class research and pioneering contributions that have shaped science, society and […]

Neuroblastoma is a highly lethal childhood tumour derived from differentiation-arrested neural crest cells1,2. Like all cancers, its growth is fuelled by metabolites obtained from either circulation or local biosynthesis3,4. Neuroblastomas […]

Former NOMIS–Salk Fellow Jeremiah Minich, together with other Salk Institute researchers, have discovered that gut microbiome turnover in children is linked to poor growth outcomes, pointing to microbiome-based diagnostics for […]

The human gut microbiome is linked to child malnutrition, yet traditional microbiome approaches lack resolution. We hypothesized that complete metagenome-assembled genomes (cMAGs), recovered through long-read (LR) DNA sequencing, would enable […]

In wound healing, immune response, and cancer metastasis, cells migrate through the body – often squeezing through narrow, confined spaces. Together with experimental collaborators, former NOMIS Fellow David Brückner, who […]

ETH Zurich has opened the 2025 call for applications for the NOMIS–ETH Fellowship Program within the Centre for Origin and Prevalence of Life (COPL). Researchers are invited to apply between September […]

Base editors create precise genomic edits by directing nucleobase deamination or removal without inducing double-stranded DNA breaks. However, a vast chemical space of other DNA modifications remains to be explored […]

Philippe Jarne is research director at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), based at the Center for Evolutionary and Functional Ecology (CEFE) in Montpellier, France. He is leading […]

The Question Understanding biodiversity and its dynamics is one of the most critical issues of our time. To fully grasp these changes, we need an integrative eco-evolutionary (eco-evo) framework that […]

The Question Plants thrive in constantly changing environments, but unlike animals, they cannot move to find food or escape unfavorable conditions. Instead, they rely on highly efficient cellular stress responses […]

Wolfgang Busch is a 2025 NOMIS Awardee, Hess Chair in Plant Science, professor and director of the Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies […]

Markus Rex is a 2025 NOMIS Awardee, head of Atmospheric Physics at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), and full professor at the University […]

The Question Clouds play a critical role in climate change. By reflecting sunlight back into space, they cool the planet, while simultaneously trapping infrared radiation in the atmosphere, contributing to […]

Sara Seager is a 2025 NOMIS Awardee, professor of physics, professor of planetary science, professor of aeronautics and astronautics, and the Class of 1941 Professor Chair at the Massachusetts Institute […]

The Question Fueled by powerful new telescopes and the discovery of thousands of exoplanets — planets that orbit stars other than the sun — the search for life beyond Earth […]

Eduardo Luersen is a NOMIS–eikones Fellow at eikones – Center for the Theory and History of the Image at the University of Basel (Switzerland). Luersen studied visual arts and graphic […]
