Lauren Charles, a chief data scientist at PNNL, showcased the vital research coming out of her program at The National Academies Forum workshop in Washington, D.C., January 15–16, 2025.

Nine national laboratories, including PNNL, bring together over 1,000 scientists for a day to use AI to accelerate scientific discovery.

Three PNNL researchers will receive five continuous years of funding for projects through highly competitive DOE Early Career Research Program awards.

Researchers will explore climate, pathogens and energy-efficient microelectronics using 3 million node hours on the nation’s supercomputers.

Scientists unravel a secret to oil production in plants, opening up the possibility of increasing production for biofuels and other applications.

Research at PNNL and the University of Texas at El Paso are addressing computational challenges of thinking beyond the list and developing bioagent-agnostic signatures to assess threats.

The virus that causes COVID-19 takes over the body’s fat-processing system and boosts cellular triglycerides as it causes disease.

Parallel graph neural networks identify protein-ligand 3-D structural interactions to aid in protein function prediction and drug discovery.

PNNL scientists publish paper and host workshops to share threat-agnostic vision for biodefense.
