ZHUANG Xiaowei, David B. Arnold Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, has been awarded the 2026 Ernest Solvay Prize by Syensqo "for pioneering the development of genome-scale imaging, which has transformed biochemical research, enabled spatial genomics, and created a new paradigm for understanding the molecular and cellular architecture of complex tissues."
"I am deeply honored to receive the Ernest Solvay Prize," Zhuang said. "This recognition highlights the importance of curiosity-driven research and reflects the collective efforts of many talented students, postdocs and collaborators who worked together to make the inner workings of cells and organisms visible and understandable."
Zhuang is being honored for developing powerful imaging techniques that allow scientists to map and visualize the inner organization of cells and tissues at an unprecedented scale. These methods reveal not only how living organisms function and respond to changes at the molecular and cellular levels, but precisely where that function and response occur.
"It is an honor to award Prof. ZHUANG Xiaowei the 2026 Ernest Solvay Prize for her groundbreaking work in advanced molecular and cellular imaging," said Mike Radossich, CEO of Syensqo.
