ISB researchers reveal a darker side of targeted therapy: the same oncogene inhibition that shuts down cancer growth program can also ignite a stress-driven identity switch — revealing an early escape route that may shape the future of cancer treatment
Whitney Gibb used to move through life at full speed. After COVID, brain fog, fatigue, and memory loss reshaped her daily life — offering a powerful window into the realities of Long COVID and the research now working to understand it.
At a recent virtual town hall, leaders of the Pacific Northwest RECOVER hub shared what they’ve learned so far about long COVID — from symptom trajectories and genetic risk to early trial results and upcoming studies — and answered questions from participants about risk factors, persistent symptoms and what comes next.
Researchers from the NIH-funded RECOVER study shared new insights on the risks of Long COVID, autoimmune links, and upcoming clinical trials during ISB’s July Town Hall.
In a Research Roundtable presentation and Q&A, ISB President Dr. Jim Heath shared how his team is using generative AI to unlock new understanding of human immunity, and how these discoveries could help predict disease severity, improve cancer therapies, and more.
Co-Author Craig Mundie and ISB’s Dr. Jim Heath discuss AI’s rapid evolution, ethical considerations, and potential to revolutionize science and society in a compelling Town Hall event.
ISB hosted a virtual event to share updates on the ongoing RECOVER study, a national NIH-funded initiative to understand and address Long COVID.
In a breakthrough discovery that changes how we understand T cells and with implications of how we can better engineer custom immune responses to fight disease, Institute for Systems Biology researchers showed that the different disease-fighting functions of different T cells are determined by the genetically encoded T-cell receptor sequence that are unique to those cells.
