Who are the HHMI investigators?
There are approximately 350 HHMI investigators at more than 70 universities, research institutes, and medical schools around the country. These investigators are HHMI employees who also maintain their faculty positions at their host institutions. The success of HHMI’s “people, not projects” philosophy can be seen in the high productivity and breakthrough insights generated by HHMI investigators. Fourteen HHMI investigators have been awarded Nobel prizes and more than 130 current investigators have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
