NOMIS Awardee Didier Fassin, James D. Wolfensohn Professor in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), has received the Huxley Memorial Medal from the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great […]

ETH Zurich has opened the 2024 call for applications to the NOMIS–ETH Fellowship Program. Applications are being accepted until November 8, 2024. The NOMIS–ETH Fellowship Program supports postdoctoral researchers at […]

The digitisation of health care is offering the promise of transforming the management of paediatric sepsis, which is a major source of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. Digital technology […]

Sepsis is a major contributor to poor child health outcomes around the world. The high morbidity, mortality, and societal cost associated with paediatric sepsis render it a global health priority, […]

Sepsis disproportionally affects children across all health-care settings and is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in neonatal and paediatric age groups. As shown in the first […]

Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection that leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction. Half of the 50 million people affected by sepsis globally every year are neonates and children […]

NOMIS researcher Luregn Schlapbach was invited by The Lancet to lead a series on pediatric sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection. The four articles in this series put forth the […]

The nuclear pore basket is a filamentous structure attached to the nucleoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), crucial for regulating transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In a […]

The nuclear basket attaches to the nucleoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), coupling transcription to mRNA quality control and export. The basket expands the functional repertoire of a […]

CRISPR–Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair (HDR) can introduce desired mutations at targeted genomic sites, but achieving high efficiencies is a major hurdle in many cell types, including cells deficient in DNA repair […]

NOMIS Awardee and Nobel laureate Svante Pääbo has been featured in the latest NOMIS Insight film, which details the journey of his recently concluded research project, A Cell and Molecular Approach […]

NOMIS researcher Jacob Corn and colleagues have discovered that the enzyme TREX1 hinders the efficiency of CRISPR gene editing in certain cells. By blocking TREX1 or using protected DNA templates, […]

NOMIS will extend its support of the Platform for the Discovery of Alzheimer’s Disease Mechanisms and Treatments project, led by Eric Reiman at the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute. The project has […]

Importance Human social networks are naturally signed, including both positive and negative ties. However, the instruments for appraising negative ties are less established than those focusing on positive, friendly connections. […]

In a paper published in The Journal of Architecture, NOMIS researcher Anna Myjak-Pycia explores how the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 repurposed the city’s sewer system as a vital means of […]

During the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, soldiers and civilians used the city’s sewer system to move from place to place and to pass objects and information. Although many who entered […]

In a study analyzing tropical rainforests, NOMIS Awardee Robert Ewers and fellow researchers found that lightly logged forests retain high conservation value and a largely intact ecosystem, suggesting they can […]

Logged and disturbed forests are often viewed as degraded and depauperate environments compared with primary forest. However, they are dynamic ecosystems1 that provide refugia for large amounts of biodiversity2,3, so we […]

In a Nature Methods perspective, NOMIS researcher Ali Ertürk addresses the new era of 3D-omics by tissue clearing and AI, called deep 3D histology. He writes that “biomedical research needs […]
