New research from CSHL’s Zach Lippman, David McCandlish, and collaborators uncovers cryptic mutations—hidden genetic changes that only show up under certain conditions and shape plant traits. Understanding these could lead to better crops and better medicines.

NYT bestselling author @jamesrollins joined The Next Chapter in Huntington, NY and CSHL NeuroAI Scholars Kyle Daruwalla and Christian Pehle via Zoom for a panel discussion on AI, art, literature, the brain, and the future as we know it. Take a look:

At the 89th Symposium on Quantitative Biology, former CSHL Professor Scott Lowe returned to share how so-called “zombie” cells—cells that have stopped dividing but refuse to die—might hold the key to new anti-cancer & anti-aging therapies.

CSHL Professor David Spector and graduate student Wenbo Xu have identified a rarely studied RNA as a key player in triple-negative breast cancer, offering researchers a potential target in the urgent search for therapies.

What’s an adenovirus & why does it sit on top of our gazebo? This humble virus helped launch some of the biggest scientific breakthroughs in CSHL history—from Nobel-winning work on RNA splicing to the foundations of gene therapy & cancer research.

From the course to the reception, CSHL’s 31st Annual Golf Tournament was a powerful reminder: progress starts with people who care.

Cancer neuroscience is a rapidly emerging field with few formal training opportunities available today. For researchers eager to explore this frontier, one question stands out: where does one begin?. Check out the video below to find out where: .

CSHL Assistant Professor Arkarup Banerjee has been named a 2025 McKnight Scholar, one of neuroscience’s most prestigious early-career honors.

The Cancer Center held its annual symposium on Friday, highlighting recent advances in cancer genetics, inheritance, and cellular communication. Thank you to our faculty, trainees, and program leaders for driving impactful research and collaboration. #CancerResearch #CSHL

CSHL’s Joshua-Tor lab (@leemorj) has revealed new 3D structures of the kinase FN3K, which feeds tumor growth by freeing key proteins from a sugary bond called glycation, opening the door for future therapeutics targeting a variety of tumors.

Built c.1825, this Cold Spring Harbor building once stored whale oil—sealed with “bungs,” inspiring the name Bungtown Road. 🐳Over 200 years, it has served as a dormitory, lecture hall, lab, and now houses our Office of Sponsored Programs. #History #ColdSpringHarbor

Autism is diagnosed in boys four times more often than in girls?. At CSHL, our scientists are uncovering the biological and neurological roots of autism to better understand why these differences exist—and how that insight can lead to more accurate diagnoses and better support.

What shapes our health isn’t just DNA—it’s everything around us. At CSHL’s Banbury Center, scientists launched a bold vision for exposomics: the study of how environment meets biology. Their new Science paper calls for a “human exposome” project—like the Human Genome Project,.
