John L. Rinn, PhD (Damon Runyon-Rachleff Innovator ‘09-‘11 and Damon Runyon Fellow ‘05-‘07) of Harvard Medical School and the Broad Institute, Boston, was named one of this year’s “Brilliant 10” by Popular Science magazine. His research has helped uncover a new class of RNA called lincRNA (large intervening non-coding RNA).
