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.

Researchers developed a robust, cost-effective, and easy-to-use cap-based technique for spatial proteome mapping, addressing the lack of accessible proteomics technologies for studying tissue heterogeneity and microenvironments.

PNNL biodefense experts seek to identify, understand and mitigate the risks of biological pathogens—whether naturally occurring or intentionally created—so steps can be taken to prepare and respond.

Ljiljana Paša-Tolić, a PNNL fellow, is the recipient of the 2024 International Mass Spectrometry Foundation’s Jochen Franzen Award. 

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

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.

PNNL contributes to a nationwide research consortium investigating the molecular mechanisms triggered by endurance training.

Beyond melting ice and higher temperatures: On Earth Day, scientists consider how climate change will affect national security.

Battery energy storage systems are being proposed in municipalities across the U.S. PNNL researchers can help community planners guide safe siting and operations.

Joshua Adkins and Jamie Lo will lead PMedIC, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Oregon Health & Science University’s joint research institute.

Findings in a new PNNL report show long-duration energy storage will be a necessity in decarbonizing the grid and recommends the planning and procurement process to identify those needs start immediately.

Advanced proteomic analysis tools dig deep into human blood plasma to understand the molecular nature of advanced alcoholic disease.

Microbes that were previously frozen in soils are becoming more active. This study demonstrates the diverse RNA viral communities found in thawed permafrost.

Scientists can detect the virus that causes COVID-19 by using a bubble that spills its contents like a piñata when encountering the virus.

TransMED analyzes patient data from similar diseases across multiple sources to understand COVID-19 patient outcome risk factors.

Michael Brambley, a mechanical engineer at PNNL, receives ASHRAE Exceptional Service Award.

Srinivas Katipamula, a staff scientist at PNNL, has been honored with an ASHRAE Exceptional Service Award.

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

COVID-19 changed when and where we use electricity. Researchers showed that commonly available total demand data masked the actual changes.
