Brian Crane began as Director of the Weill Center for Cell and Molecular Biology on January 1, 2025. He is only the second Director in the History of the Weill Institute since its founding by inaugural Director Scott Emr in 2008.
Over the last decade, perovskite photovoltaics have emerged as the most exciting alternative to silicon, with Cornell researchers studying how the material can be grown to be more durable for optimal performance, and be recycled.
A Cornell-led collaboration uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum of antibiotics from the cell.
Aquaculture expansion in the Amazon could improve nutrition and environmental outcomes, but it also poses risks, according to research in Nature Sustainability.
Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, but Cornell researchers have uncovered a way to control these transformations.
The Great Backyard Bird Count, organized by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in collaboration with Audubon and Birds Canada, is Feb. 14-17 and invites volunteers to watch birds and record what they see, enriching the Cornell Lab’s trove of data.
A new study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar reveals how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved from initially prioritizing increased transmissibility to enhanced immune evasion after the Omicron variant emerged.
Blood clots form in response to signals from the lungs of cancer patients – not from other organ sites, as previously thought – according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and University of California San Diego Health.
Hidden beneath Cornell’s campus, a vast energy system powers the university. A major upgrade is now slashing emissions and advancing Cornell’s net-zero goal.
A new mapping approach piloted by Cornell researchers could help policymakers identify where people live in extreme poverty and target resources more effectively.
