What's New

Congratulations to Hank Paulson for being elected to the National Academy of Medicine!

Dr. Paulson was elected to the NAM in 2020 for his work in making fundamental discoveries regarding protein aggregation and nucleotide repeat expansions as causes of neurodegenerative diseases, and pioneering novel therapeutic strategies, including nucleotide-based gene silencing and harnessing the cell’s own quality-control machinery, for this group of devastating disorders.
