At the Lab

A conversation on curiosity, resilience, and discovery from the next generation of researchers.  

Hear how early-stage ideas become new tools and therapies that can benefit patients, researchers, and other groups worldwide. 

Join us as we shine light on the mystery of nuclear speckles. Hear about their potential links to cancer and see where the science may take us next. 

The two physician-scientists behind this major biomedical breakthrough sit down with us to discuss their collaboration and what’s next. 

CSHL NeuroAI Scholars Kyle Daruwalla and Christian Pehle don’t see so-called “artificial general intelligence” anywhere on the horizon. Here’s why. 

The science is complex. The stakes are high. And the urgency is immediate. 

CSHL Professor David Spector discusses some of his lab’s latest research and the partnership making it possible.  

Typically, if you hear someone in a bar talking about “conversations” between their brain and their body, you might want to call them a cab. Not this time! Barstool philosophy meets brain-body physiology in our latest episode, featuring audio from CSHL Assistant Professor Jeremy Borniger’s recent Cocktails & Chromosomes talk.  

You’ve seen her on FOX and the cover of Newsday. Now, hear about the knowledge gaps that make Claudia Tonelli's discovery so crucial and the noble goals driving it. 

There’s a Microprocessor inside you. Actually, there are trillions. Only they’re not computer processors. They’re much smaller and far more complex. 

Today’s AI can talk the talk, but it literally can’t walk the walk. CSHL neuroscientists discuss the biological brain’s multibillion-year advantage over AI—and the new algorithm they built based on that concept.

“It started with an accident observation,” says CSHL Associate Professor Camila dos Santos. That observation? A group of lab mice with urinary tract infections also had breast abnormalities. So, what might this mean for women’s health?

Speckles sound innocent enough, like little spots. But don’t be fooled. These tiny structures could someday have big implications for cancer care.

It can cause blackouts, memory loss, and hallucinations. It’s typically diagnosed in people in their 20s and considered more common among women than men. It’s not schizophrenia, but it can be misdiagnosed as such...

Where does autism come from when it’s not genetic? One hypothesis suggests maternal viral infection could be a cause. But how does this work? You may have read about their fascinating research in VICE and the New York Post. Now, hear about it directly from CSHL Associate Professor Lucas Cheadle and postdoc Irene Sanchez Martin.

You can’t spell evolution without l-o-v-e. A tale of passion and curiosity takes us from New York to Australia, France, the U.K., and South America. 

What if there were a vitamin that could help treat or prevent prostate cancer? We sat down with CSHL Professor Lloyd Trotman to find out about new preclinical studies that could point to a major breakthrough in men’s health. 

This season’s final Research Rewind brings us from the realm of quantitative biology to neuroscience, genomics, and beyond.

It’s the code for all life on Earth. This week At the Lab, we’re hacking it with the help of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s geneticists.

What do you think? How do you know? And who are you anyway? We probe each of these questions with the help of Cold Spring Harbor’s neuroscientists.

As the first season of our new podcast winds down, we’re revisiting all of our episodes with a focus on CSHL’s cutting-edge cancer research.

Step inside EN-TEx, a catalog of more than one million genomic variants, and hear about its potential for the future of science and medicine.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory solves a plant biology mystery some 4,000 years in the making. The implications may go far beyond vegetables.

CSHL Professor Alea Mills compares the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma to a car with its brakes cut. Her lab works to reattach them.

Victoria Gray, the first person ever cured of sickle cell, appeared on a DNA Learning Center panel featuring a clinical scientist from CSHL.
