NIGMS Challenge Contest: Tracing Basic Research to Medical Advances

​Note: This is an archived page that is not updated.

Thanks to those who submitted entries to this Challenge. The stories we received were thoughtful and interesting, but they did not address our goal of obtaining examples that have already culminated in widely used products or technologies.

As a result, we have decided not to award any prizes in this Challenge.

We continue to be interested in links between NIGMS-supported basic science and medical advances. If you have examples to share, please send them to info@nigms.nih.gov.
