Stowers Institute
@ScienceStowers
At the Stowers Institute, great minds are at work seeking to understand the function & behavior of living organisms, paving the way for future medical advances.
We’re proud to welcome two bold scientific minds to the Institute! Arvind Pillai, PhD, joins as Assistant Investigator exploring protein #evolution & design. Friederike Benning, PhD, joins as Stowers Fellow studying membrane complexity in #bacteria. More: bit.ly/3SCZQiM
Postdoc Symposium Oral Presentation award!! Congratulations @batevodevo from @ScienceStowers Evolutionary rewiring of insulin signaling in Nectar bats #PASEDB2025 #nectarbats #sweettoothBest
Zebrafish genes show how hair cells regrow after damage @NatureComms @ScienceStowers This helps explain why fish can recover hearing #RegenerativeMedicine liveforever.club/article/zebraf…
It's been a great summer!
Our Summer Scholars have spent the past 8 weeks immersed in hands-on #research, and today, they got to share their discoveries with the Stowers community! #GradSchool #biology Learn more about the program: bit.ly/3SDVdGo

Why can #zebrafish regenerate sensory hair cells while humans can't? New #research from the @LabPiotrowski uncovers the role of two key genes in this process, and what it could mean for hearing restoration in humans.👂 📖 Read more in @Tech_Networks: bit.ly/3IJipQR
📅 Save the date: Oct.22–24! Join us at the Institute for an exciting research conference on AI-driven approaches to emergent protein behaviors. #SRCKC25 Now accepting abstracts & registrations: bit.ly/3GgsQtC
“I study skates, cartilaginous fish related to sharks & rays that sit at the base of the vertebrate tree of life.” At @MBLScience, @Planaria1 postdoc Ivan Candido-Ferreira is exploring evolutionary #biology in a place like no other. #MyMBLStory More: bit.ly/3PWPtWx
From our memories to decision making, much of what happens inside the #brain makes us who we are! On #WorldBrainDay we’re sharing how our scientists are uncovering what makes a memory. Why do we remember some things, yet forget others? Find out⬇️ 🧠 stowers.org/impact/impact-…
#DYK tomorrow is #WorldBrainDay? This #MicroscopyMonday is an adult fly #brain, labeled in orange is the mushroom body, the memory center in flies, and the neurons on the sides are part of the medulla of the eye, essential for color vision. (Si Lab) 🧠
📻Tune into @kcur NOW to hear an interview with Investigator @LabPiotrowski! Learn more about her lab’s research: stowers.org/labs/piotrowsk…
Registration is OPEN for the XII Avian Model Systems Meeting! Join us to explore how avian models continue to shape discoveries in developmental #biology, neuroscience, genomics, medicine, and #evolution. 📅 Don’t miss #AvianModels25: bit.ly/3ZBw2qS
“We came from all over the world to be immersed in reproductive biology. It was magical.” For @GertonJennifer Lab predoc @anna_galligos, her time at @MBLScience was more than just a course. #MyMBLStory Learn more about our satellite lab in #WoodsHole: bit.ly/3PWPtWx
Registration & abstract submission now open for #SRCKC25 AI-Driven Approaches to Emergent Protein Behaviors Oct. 22–24. Join a community of researchers exploring how artificial intelligence is advancing our understanding of complex protein behaviors. More: bit.ly/3GgsQtC

New #research from the @LabPiotrowski published in @NatureComms has identified how two distinct genes guide the #regeneration of sensory cells in #zebrafish – which may inspire new strategies for hearing loss treatment & regenerative medicine. (1/2) More: bit.ly/4lxUqTg
New from @TheScientistLLC: @LabPiotrowski reveals how #zebrafish hair cells regenerate using cell type-specific gene regulation, which may offer new clues in the search for #hearingloss treatments. 📰 Read here: bit.ly/3IsnKMd
