Schwartz Research Fund Visionary Grants for faculty members in the life sciences aims to provide significant assistance for innovative, visionary research that opens an important new line of inquiry.
A symposium hosted by the Cornell Center for Vertebrate Genomics and the Cornell Center for Immunology attracted early-career researchers and faculty working across genetics, immunology, developmental biology and computational biology.
The new freezing method – 30 times faster than current protocols – could be used to improve assisted reproduction in humans or animals or to conserve biodiversity.
Cornell researchers developed a safer and more precise way to study how genes function in living tissues by refining a recently developed CRISPR-based genetic technique in fruit flies, enabling researchers to better study how genes contribute to development and disease.
The finding gives New York state another tool to locate and understand the behavior of the endangered Atlantic sturgeon, an iconic species decimated by overfishing.
Cornell researchers and Kenyan partners have developed a fertilizer made from human excreta. The product improves soil health and food production, while preventing pollution in informal settlements and the aquatic environment.
