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 […]

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 […]

Antonin Affholder is a NOMIS–ETH Fellow at the Centre for Origin and Prevalence of Life at ETH Zurich (Switzerland). He is conducting his research in the Department of Environmental Systems […]

Cell migration in narrow microenvironments occurs in numerous physiological processes. It involves successive cycles of confinement and release that drive important morphological changes. However, it remains unclear whether migrating cells […]

Joining the NOMIS Center for Immunobiology and Microbial Pathogenesis at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, US, immunologist Jamie Blum will explore how immune cells identify and respond to food […]

Pierre Vanderhaeghen is full professor of neuroscience and group leader at the VIB–KU Leuven Center for Brain and Disease Research in Leuven, Belgium. He is co-leading the Human Brain Evolution […]

Barbara Carnevali is full professor of philosophy at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris, France, and a recurrent visiting professor of social aesthetics at the […]

The Question Logos, ubiquitous yet often overlooked, are the silent markers of our world. They adorn products, uniforms and institutions — such as political parties, corporations, cities, universities, sports teams […]

The Question Humans exhibit exceptional cognitive abilities and social skills, including complex forms of written and oral communication, our propensity to develop new technologies and explore and rapidly adapt to […]

NOMIS researcher Juliane Vogel and members of her research group have edited a new open-access book exploring how tragedy’s formal features have impacted its travels, and how these travels have […]
