HFSP

@jptosar @amyhbuck Congratulations 🥳 Welcome to the HFSP family!

Thrilled that “Decoding an ancient RNA social network” just got funded by @hfsp! 🔥 Time to decode how bacteria and immune cells “talk” via RNA in the gut 🦠🧬 Lucky to do this with such a great team: @amyhbuck, #StefanieKaiser and #RuthLey 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇩🇪🇺🇾

Attention scientists from all over the world🙃 The 2026 #HFSPResearchGrants are out! 🥳 117 scientists from 31 countries will pursue bold, interdisciplinary research, from #neuroscience to #ecology and beyond! Are you one of the new #HFSPAwardees? 🔗bit.ly/4uGmMQ3

Why does fertility decline as eggs age? 🧪 HFSP-supported research shows that once chromosome cohesion drops below a critical threshold, errors rise dramatically. A key insight into reproductive aging. #sts #hfsp 🔗 zurl.co/nxtLH

HFSP Symposium in Rome: leading researchers discussing frontier #LifeSciences.🧪 Keynote by Pietro Pietrini on behavioral Neuroscience and talks on gene therapy, organelle communication and evolution complete the program! Check it out 📃 zurl.co/r2Lvt #sts #HFSP

HFSP Awards now have Grant DOIs, back to 1990! #DOI improves traceability, visibility, and connections between funding and research outcomes in the era of #OpenScience 🧪 #HFSP awardees: please include your grant DOI in publications and preprints! #ResearchFunding #sts

Tiny molecular differences can rewrite big origin-of-life questions! HFSP-supported research shows simple coacervate droplets could have supported early RNA chemistry, reshaping ideas about the transition from #RNA to #DNA worlds. #OriginOfLife #HFSP 🔗 zurl.co/ZMFM3

From convening scientists to shaping global data infrastructure! #HFSP helped catalyze the Global Biodata Coalition, which coordinated key life science data resources. 🧪 Now the European Commission is investing €5M to secure its future! #OpenScience 🔗 zurl.co/X7G9K

Attention #HFSP community! 🙃 ⏳ Last chance to submit your abstract for the 25th #HFSP Awardees Meeting! 📅 Deadline: 11 March 2026 Join us in Geneva and share your research with colleagues from across disciplines. 🧪 🔗 zurl.co/I7ZDv #HFSPmtg2026 #sts

To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay we highlight two #HFSP projects led by international teams of women pushing the frontiers of life science! 💪 🔬 Spatial translation during development 💎 Intracellular metabolic crystals 🔗zurl.co/rPPsF & zurl.co/ICmaG

🧠 Can memories be turned on and off? HFSP-supported research shows that changing the epigenetic state of a single gene in memory neurons can strengthen or silence memories in mice. A striking insight into how the brain may encode experience.🔗zurl.co/xEwoX #HFSP
