…of a prestigious 2016 Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering. Elizabeth Villa Villa, a physicist by training, is working to develop tools to unveil the precise conformation of chromosomes as they are packaged inside the nucleus of living cells. She developed a method for “micromachining” cells through which their dynamic…
