Claudia Fischbach-Teschl, director of the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, was appointed leader of Engineering Innovations in Medicine, an initiative to transform human health through data-driven innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
A new study revealed how a deadly form of pancreatic cancer enters the bloodstream, solving a long-standing mystery of how the disease spreads and identifying a promising target for therapy.
Nine postdoctoral scholars were honored with Postdoc Achievement Awards as part of Cornell’s participation in National Postdoc Appreciation Week. The awards recognize excellence in community engagement, leadership and mentoring.
From mapping the human gut-brain connection to creating safer cancer nanotherapies, the latest Expanded SPROUT Awards from Cornell Engineering are exploring breakthroughs in microbiome science, quantum materials and biomedical engineering.
The health care industry is increasingly relying on AI – in responding to patient queries, for example – and a new Cornell study shows how decision-makers can use real-world data to build sustainability into new systems.
Cornell researchers have demonstrated that, by zapping a thin film with ultrafast pulses of low-frequency infrared light, they can cause its lattice to atomically expand and contract billions of times per second, potentially switching its electronic, magnetic or optical properties on and off.
FOSAI, a Cornell-led company specializing in plug-and-play architectures and data services for space vehicles and other mission-critical systems, has been acquired by Pasteur Labs, a developer of AI–driven simulation tools.
The Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility has enabled scientists and engineers from academia and industry to conduct groundbreaking research, thanks to continuous support from the National Science Foundation. But that funding is now at risk.
