Histologists are the people who make the invisible visible. While their work often happens quietly behind the scenes, it is essential to everything from basic biology to scientific breakthroughs. These are the unsung heroes of the lab – and Yvette Hooks, Senior Technical Specialist at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, is no exception.

Meet the next generation of genomic scientists who are benefiting from the Wellcome Sanger Institute founder, John Sulston's legacy. Beatriz Rodrigues Estevam was awarded the Sanger Prize in 2024, and joined the Tree of Life Programme to work alongside Mark Blaxter’s research group. During her three-month Sanger Prize placement, she is building data pipelines while learning and adapting new techniques for researchers to study the fascinating biology of nematode worms.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we analyse biological data – from predicting protein structures to uncovering insights from vast genomic datasets. Ronnie Crawford, Science Solutions Lead at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, bridges AI and genomics. His work covers predicting protein stability from sequence data and building communities around AI‑driven research. From a reluctant programmer to an AI innovator, Ronnie’s path shows how career flexibility can lead to new opportunities in computational biology.
