Press Room

The discoveries of HHMI scientists and grantees make headlines throughout the world. Members of the media are vital in explaining the process of biomedical research and putting discoveries into context for the public. To facilitate this process, the HHMI Press Room provides journalists and others in the media with embargoed news and other resources to supplement their work such as backgrounders, photos, and videos.

To access the embargoed section of this site, you must be a member of the media, a freelance writer, or a public information officer at an HHMI host institution or HHMI grantee institution. To obtain login information, please complete the registration form.
