Research at risk: stopping metastatic cancer

Weill Cornell Medicine researcher Nancy Du received a $500,000 grant from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs at the U.S. Department of Defense, but a stop-work order brought her research to a halt in April.

Inside the medical crash cart robot: Designing for urgency, collaboration, and clarity

Cornell Tech researchers unveiled a robot that helps emergency room teams locate life-saving supplies faster, revealing how design can shape collaboration under pressure.

Study provides new insights into genetic complexity of metastasis

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center provide fresh insights about how cancers evolve when they metastasize – insights that could aid in developing strategies to improve the effectiveness of treatment.

Treatment switch, liquid biopsy improve breast cancer outcomes

A clinical trial in patients with advanced breast cancer has found the use of liquid biopsy blood tests for early detection of a treatment-resistant mutation, followed by a new type of treatment, substantially extends the period of tumor control.

Researchers map connections between the brain’s structure and function

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act.

Study: Tech can empower home care workers, not just surveil them

A team of Cornell researchers is exploring how workplace tracking apps can be used not to surveil workers, but to help them build solidarity and improve their working conditions.

AI tool accurately sorts cancer patients by their likely outcomes

A new artificial intelligence-based method accurately sorts cancer patients into groups that have similar characteristics before treatment and similar outcomes after treatment, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Novel molecular maneuver helps malaria parasite dodge the immune system

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can shut down a key set of genes, rendering itself “immunologically invisible” — sometimes for years.
