Cornell's 160-year-old potato breeding program supports the national potato industry, working hand-in-hand to develop new varieties grown across the country.
A project led by Cornell’s Center for Point of Care Technologies for Nutrition, Infection and Cancer to develop a low-cost, battery-powered device for sample preparation in tuberculosis (TB) testing in areas with limited lab access and infrastructure, has received a $250,000 grant from the Gates Foundation.
Horses exposed early in life to an allergen were less likely to react when exposed again later in life, according to a new study of Icelandic horses at Cornell.

The Rapid Response Fund was designed to have a streamlined review process that enables researchers to access funding within weeks — ideal for fast-moving infectious diseases.
Cornell researchers have discovered a previously unknown way plants regulate water that is so fundamental it may change plant biology textbooks – and open the door to breeding more drought-tolerant crops.
Scientists at the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine have found that administering a rotavirus vaccine to newborn mice via a shot, rather than an oral dose, increases its efficacy, particularly for at-risk newborns.
