And Sánchez Alvarado, who has had many formative experiences at ��������, wants to maximize opportunities for Stowers investigators and students to access the ��������’s abundant resources and natural beauty.

“Some experiments can only be done here,” said �������� Director Nipam Patel. “And in other cases, �������� can provide opportunities to take their research to a new level.”

Stowers investigators now have year-round access to ��������’s advanced microscopy resources and research organisms through the Marine Resources Center. And they can explore the rich biodiversity of Woods Hole, by land or by sea.

The advantages of the partnership are described in two articles by Stowers Science Writer Rachel Scanza, and “

Among them is that palpable Woods Hole “charge” -- the excitement of discovery fed by a continuous flux of intensely curious scientists and students through the ��������.

“There is so much energy in this campus that we all feed off of to be even better than we thought we could,” said Augusto Ortego Granillo, a predoctoral researcher at the Stowers Institute.

The Stowers Satellite Lab is a welcome addition to the ��������, Patel said, noting that a few other institutes have expressed interest in setting up a similar arrangement. “It adds to the vibrancy to the campus,” he said.

And both partners anticipate the year-round interaction will kindle innovative science, as highlighted by Sánchez Alvarado: “I hope that our partnership will serve members of both institutions in coming together to produce entirely new solutions to longstanding questions in biology.”
