In this issue, we welcome new IGS Director Dr. Elana Fertig, celebrate Dr. Claire Fraser’s groundbreaking legacy, introduce CAMRI—the new Center for Advanced Microbiome Research and Innovation—and highlight major new grants, faculty achievements, and global media recognition.

This newsletter includes the research we’ve been tackling; the grants we’ve scored; our national media hits; and a great cheering section.

Art & Science take center stage in our Summer 2023 issue: from new art in our lobby to our faculty getting media recognition for their leading-edge science. Enjoy!

In this volume, we feature exciting stories about our Institute for Genome Sciences, our faculty, our technology, our students, and our research.
