An international team of researchers, including scientists from the Institute for Systems Biology, has conducted one of the most comprehensive molecular studies of human diversity to date. Published in Cell, the work reveals how ethnicity and geography influence metabolism, immunity, the microbiome, and biological aging — insights that could help advance precision medicine for diverse populations.

ISB researchers help reveal a previously hidden layer of the human proteome, identifying a new class of protein-like molecules known as “peptideins” with potential implications for cancer, immunotherapy, and human disease.
