Congratulations to the 2023 Hertz Fellows! The award provides each student with five years of doctoral-level research funding news.mit.edu/2023/hertz-fou…

Excited to share our latest work! We've built a model using the principles of statistical mechanics to connect the molecular properties of #SARSCoV2's key binding domain to its epidemiological fitness. Check it out at biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #COVIDー19

By fitting our model to population data on variant frequencies and experimental measured binding energies, we could derive the fitness landscape of #SARSCoV2 RBD.

Excited to be serving as a guest editor for a special issue on tunneling in complex systems with Rick Heller - hope you consider contributing! tiny.cc/9qh9vz

Honored to work with Dianzhuo(John) Wang, Marian Huot, and Eugene Shakhnovich!

Excited to see this out! In our chapter, Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA and I discuss opportunities to strengthen the public and community health infrastructure needed to keep patients healthy and independent at home. Thanks to Andrew M. Ibrahim MD, MSc (He/Him) and Justin B. Dimick for the opportunity to contribute!

Congratulations to the 2024 Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Fellows!!

What drives 2024 Hertz Fellow Anna Sappington? Anna aspires to build methods to predict evolutionary events. She is a student in the Harvard University-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) MD-PhD Program in the first year of her PhD program at MIT in electrical engineering and computer science. hertzfoundation.org/person/anna-sa…

Anna received a master’s from the University College London, and a master’s in genomic medicine from the Cambridge University, where she studied as a Marshall Scholar. hertzfoundation.org/person/anna-sa…
