Chris Doughty is an associate professor of ecoinformatics at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, US. He is leading the project Effects of Reintroduction of Large Animal Species on the Earth’s Adaptation […]

The Question Over the past 50,000 to 3,000 years, most of the world’s largest land animals disappeared — with 88% of megafaunal species lost in Australia, 84% in South America, […]

Described as a “visionary and experienced scientist,” NOMIS Awardee Anthony Hyman was appointed director general of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). EMBL promotes molecular biology across Europe and established […]

What makes a crisis feel “normal”? How can identical twins have completely different health journeys? For innovative work that addresses these questions through cross-field collaboration, Rachit Dubey and Jiacheng Miao […]

Rachit Dubey is a grand prize winner of the 2025/26 NOMIS & Science Young Explorer Award. He is assistant professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Dubey received […]

Jiacheng Miao is a grand prize winner of the 2025/26 NOMIS & Science Young Explorer Award. He is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, US. Miao received an undergraduate degree […]

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 […]

How can a diet and drug combination starve malignant nervous system tumors? A research team from the University of Zurich and the University Children’s Hospital Zurich may have the answer. […]

Recognizing innovative early-career scientists and engineers, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation awarded a 2025 Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering to Michael Skinnider, the 2023 NOMIS & Science Young […]

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 […]
