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.
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.
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.
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.
Cornell researchers have discovered that a lethal variant of feline coronavirus, previously thought to be limited to a devastating 2023 outbreak in Cyprus that killed thousands of cats, has in fact appeared in the United States, raising concerns about future large-scale outbreaks in vulnerable cat populations.
Five innovative immunology research projects have been selected for funding through the Cornell Center for Immunology's 2026 Multidisciplinary Seed Grants.
Complex health challenges require expertise from multiple scientific…
Microbes that cause an infection remain biochemically active after they die, continuing to trigger a host’s immune system while also making the immune response less effective.
