Cornell undergraduates involved in psychology across a number of schools and colleges present their research across a broad array of interests at a May 9 conference in the Physical Sciences Building Atrium.
Future pandemics can be averted if the world’s governments eliminate unnecessary wildlife trade and adopt holistic approaches, according to experts at a Feb. 23 virtual conference.
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.
A Cornell-led, multi-institution, interdisciplinary team seeks to use computer vision, automation and robotics to optimize per-tree apple production, which is currently a highly manual and imprecise process.
Researchers in the lab of Charles Danko have developed a new tool to study genetic “switches” active in glioblastoma tumors that drive growth of the cancer.
Protecting crops from pests and pathogens without pesticides has been a longtime goal of farmers. Researchers at Boyce Thompson Institute have found that compounds from microscopic soil roundworms could achieve this aim.
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.
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.
