>Every day, HHMI supports the pursuit of knowledge and the application of that knowledge for the benefit of humankind. We have structured the institute - physically, programmatically, philosophically - to empower the world’s finest scientists and educators. These individuals too are architects of discovery, through the ways in which they guide their teams, structure their laboratories and classrooms, and conceive of the pioneering experiments that lead to innovations of lasting consequence.

Breaking New Ground

With a model that encourages bold thinking, HHMI enables its scientists to move in creative new directions, whether they seek to probe the origins of life or push the limits of biophysics.

The Framework of Innovation

What does it take to answer some of the world’s biggest scientific challenges? Strong teams, open collaborations, scaled-up resources, and just a pinch of Vitamin D.

Foundations of Scholarship

HHMI’s investment in science education demonstrates our commitment to programs that value diversity, early research opportunities, inquiry-based teaching, and experimentation.
