The World Economic Forum reports that women remain underrepresented in STEM: in 2024, they accounted for just 28 percent of the workforce. UNESCO data paint a similar picture, showing that only one in three researchers worldwide is a woman, and in some countries the figure drops below 10 percent. Leadership positions are even more scarce: across STEM, just one in ten leaders is a woman.For neurotechnology, the barriers are especially daunting. Developing expertise requires years of costly training, often discouraging those without family support or resources. This period frequently overlaps with the stage of life when many women are considering…

The first-in-class therapeutic targets ENPP1, a protein that was identified by UCLA researcher Arjun Deb, MD, as a key regulator of impaired tissue repair following heart attack and other acute organ damage. AD-NP1 was developed over seven years in the Deb laboratory, using funding exclusively from the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, and the California Institute for Regenerative…
When Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel created his prize, which has been bestowed since 1901, he knew no human could run faster than a lion or swim farther than a dolphin. Our dominance as a species arose not because we were the strongest or the fastest, but because of our ingenuity — our ability to imagine, design and build.Are groundbreaking science discoveries becoming harder to find?Today, human ingenuity is expressed through the machines we create. Almost every big scientific breakthrough of the past 50 years, from detecting gravitational waves to sequencing the human genome and mapping the structure of proteins with…
Up & Comers Illumina Illumina may be the longtime leader in next-generation sequencing, but it isn’t quite as established in the spatial field. That’s something the company expects to address next year, when it plans to commercially release a spatial transcriptomics technology it unveiled in February at the 2025 Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting. Compatible with Illumina’s NextSeq and NovaSeq sequenc- ers and using a new multimodal analysis platform, the company’s spatial technology is designed to let researchers examine the spatial proximity of millions of cells per experiment, using what Illumina says is a capture area…
