How two years in a Novartis lab changed Johnny Castillo’s life.

Three years after discussing how to reuse an old scientific measuring device, Novartis scientists are now testing this idea as part of an innovative research project.

Compounds that block the production of damaging molecules might shed light on their role in disease—and lead to new therapies.

The cause of a rare, inherited, often fatal kidney disease in many patients remained elusive for years, despite multiple attempts to solve the mystery. Then in 2012, a team of researchers cracked some of the unsolved cases in just six weeks.

The word “biopsy” typically conjures images of large needles. Lab technicians—and scientists working to discover new medicines—need enough tissue from a patient to prepare and evaluate a sample.

Using new technologies, researchers have developed a deeper understanding of how cells function, changing conceptions of disease.

A cellular computing error wreaks havoc on vision.
