SCIENTIST TYPES
More than 300 HHMI investigators are pushing the bounds of knowledge in biomedical research. Their laboratories are located at more than 70 public and private research institutions across the United States. The collaboration between HHMI and these host institutions extends the nation’s research capacity by empowering exceptional individuals and equipping their labs with high-tech tools. Through their appointments to the Institute, investigators are provided with long-term, flexible funding that gives them the freedom to explore and follow their research ideas through to fruition.
