In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date of the genome’s three‑dimensional organization across time and space, according to a new study published in Nature.

From elucidating cellular mechanisms underlying tissue regeneration to developing novel biomaterials to improve organ function, Feinberg investigators have provided stunning new snapshots of biological processes invisible to the naked eye.

In a new study, scientists have identified a previously unknown driver of Alzheimer’s disease, and an experimental drug developed at Northwestern University has demonstrated further promise as an early intervention to treat the disease.
