Chemistry professor Hector Abruña and plant geneticist Susan McCouch have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, which recognizes distinguished achievement in original research.
Once people are aware of the issues surrounding genetic information, they’re more concerned about its use and expect to be better compensated for providing it, according to a new survey co-directed by a Cornell researcher.
Biologist Alex Flecker and computer scientist Carla Gomes co-led a project that employed AI and around 40 researchers in an attempt to determine optimal placement of around 350 hydropower dams in the Amazon river basin.
Fenghua Hu is researching factors that cause Alzheimer’s and similar diseases. Her new study shows the role that one particular gene plays in protecting the central nervous system via the formation and maintenance of the myelin sheath.
Cornell chemical biologist Jeremy Baskin has been recognized for his innovative work with a Walter A. Shaw Young Investigator Award from the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Most birth control options rely on women to manage, but promising Cornell research from the lab of Paula Cohen, professor of genetics in the College of Veterinary Medicine, may be changing the game by tackling male contraception.
Cornell researchers have described a new type of gene drive with the potential to delay resistance that wild populations employ to fend off the genetic engineering of desired mutations.
