Shiwei Mitchell-Wang

Building the tools to see biology's invisible sugar code to understand how proteins and sugars shape health and disease.

We advance science by seeing the invisible, and OSV Fellowship backs individuals who dare to stare into the darkness. It's an honor to be supported by OSV, and I can't wait to set off on this journey to unveil biology's deepest secrets.

Building a platform that brings clinical trials and motor assessments into patients’ homes

I'm grateful for the O'Shaughnessy Fellowship and excited to be joining this community. Underrepresented and biased data in healthcare shape which treatments get built and who they actually work for. I look forward to working on this alongside a community that is rigorous, diverse, and genuinely cares about the world.

Building flexible, lightweight, low-cost, and high-performance biomimetic artificial muscles.

Being selected as a recipient of the O'Shaughnessy Fellowship is the greatest honour I’ve experienced. It means more than simply being empowered to pursue my vision. Having Jim and the OSV team put their belief in me, and my work is an experience that will stick with me and drive me for life.

Heloise Hoffmann

Heloise Hoffmann

Developing a gene therapy to block the activity of DUX4, the toxic protein at the root of FSHD, in order to stop the disease in its tracks.

Receiving this Fellowship means getting to dedicate my life to do the most meaningful work I can imagine: trying to cure the disease I and nearly one million others worldwide live with. I could not be more grateful for Jim and the OSV team for their belief in this mission and the vision of a world free from FSHD.

using mitochondria to download new functions into cells

For the past 10 years, I've been trying to learn how to download new functions into our biology. This fellowship will enable me to actually do it, and there's no good way to describe what it means to feel all of these ideas finally coming within reach.

Democratizing data-driven storytelling for the public good.

For most of my life I've witnessed people twist data to win arguments rather than to understand the world. I've spent a decade trying to change that. With the O'Shaughnessy Fellowship, I'm finally going straight to it. The goal is to help people learn to use data to see the world from someone else's eyes. This can be built. And now, it will be.

Building Perpetuo: the New Yorker for Spanish-speakers—an online magazine that publishes pieces from every Spanish-speaking country

This fellowship is a recognition to an entire language. I'm sure that, in a decade, we will look back on Perpetuo as the magazine that changed the course of Spanish. When that happens, I will look back myself to this fellowship as the opportunity that changed the course for Perpetuo.
