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.
At a daylong event designed to promote academic-industry collaboration, Cornell’s Center for Advanced Technology in Life Science Enterprise cast itself as both a funder of early-stage research and catalyst accelerating connections that move discoveries foward.
Reproductive health researchers from across the Northeast gathered at Cornell University April 30–May 1 to examine infertility, embryo development and reproductive aging at the 2026 Tri-State Symposium on Reproductive Sciences.
