Opened in 2006, HHMI's Janelia Farm Research Campus is a pioneering research center in Ashburn, Va., where scientists pursue biology's most challenging problems in a uniquely innovative and collaborative atmosphere.

• DIVERSITY

  Small, cross-disciplinary teams bring chemists, physicists, computational scientists, and engineers into close collaboration with biologists.

• INNOVATION

  Janelia collaborations have yielded several new technologies in optical imaging and genetic sequencing, and in using software to assemble sophisticated 3D models of neural circuitry.

• FREEDOM TO COLLABORATE

  Scientists at Janelia have the freedom and resources to pursue long-term projects of high significance.
