Research involving animal models – for purposes such as developing new vaccines or regenerative medicines – generally employ mice, but new Cornell research has identified another species that could be valuable in this type of work.

Low-cost microbe can speed biological discovery

To conduct low-cost and scalable synthetic biological experiments, Cornell researchers have created a new version of a microbe to compete economically with E. coli – a bacteria used to synthesize proteins.

How to create safe spaces with and for Black girls

New research provides educators, mental health practitioners and youth-serving organizations with a blueprint for co-creating spaces where Black girls feel seen, heard and honored.
