The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ recently was ranked highly among its global peers in both the U.S. News & World Report Best Global Universities and the QS World University Rankings. Both rankings were released in mid-June. According to U.S. News, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ is No. 12 in the world on the 2026-27 rankings, No. 3 among U.S. public institutions. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ also placed in the top 10 globally in six subject areas. On the QS World University Rankings, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ is among the top 100, landing at No. 92, or No. 7 among U.S. public universities.

In a paper published May 29 in Nature, scientists report that the growth of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is apt to follow one of three trajectories: relentlessly upward, steadily level or something in between. The particular course the disease takes is tightly linked to the genetic makeup of the cancer cells, particularly the number of growth-spurring “driver� mutations they contain.

Researchers at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and the Allen Institute for Brain Science have developed a new method to classify and track the multitude of cells in a tissue sample. In a paper published March 15 in the journal Science, the team reports that this new approach — known as SPLiT-seq — reliably tracks gene activity in a tissue down to the level of single cells.

Researchers from the Molecular Information Systems Lab at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and Microsoft are looking to collect 10,000 original images from around the world to preserve them indefinitely in synthetic DNA manufactured by Twist Bioscience. DNA holds promise as a revolutionary storage medium that lasts much longer and is many orders of magnitude denser than current technologies.
