Hacking Cancer’s Survival Code Northwestern professor Vadim Backman, who teaches in the McCormick School of Engineering and the Feinberg School of Medicine, is director of the University’s Center for Physical Genomics and Engineeri...

“We did not set out to directly kill cancer cells. We wanted to take away their superpower — their inherent ability to adapt, to change and to evade.”

Life Is Geometry In 2025, we’ve got DNA all figured out, right? It’s been over fifty years since Crick and Watson (and Franklin) discovered the double helix…

Think we've got DNA all figured out? Nope. Researchers at Northwestern University say our genome has a geometric code, and we may be "living, breathing computational systems." 😲

From Sequence to Shape: Scientists Discover the Possible Geometric Blueprint of Complex Life New research from Professors Vadim Backman and Igal Szleifer reveals the language that stores cell memory -- written in the shape of the genome itself.

New CPGE research in Advanced Science describes a language hidden in the genome, beyond the DNA sequence. The geometric code may help cells “remember” how to create and preserve memories, functioning like a network of living computers.
