The Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology will bring together leading scientists from across the globe and across disciplines for its 8th Biennial Weill Institute Symposium, Oct. 13–14. The two-day program, taking place in Ithaca, NY., will showcase advances in molecular and cell biology research, while fostering opportunities for Cornell students and postdoctoral scholars to connect with internationally recognized leaders in the life sciences.
Cornell researchers have developed a powerful new biosensor that reveals, in unprecedented detail, how and where kinases – enzymes that control nearly all cellular processes – turn on and off inside living cells.
Findings from a recent study show how randomness and growth together create the striking cellular patterns that shape plant organs—and perhaps all multicellular life.
A new decision model derived from business operations detects emerging wildlife disease months earlier, or with lower costs, than the current traditional strategies, according to a collaborative study from the College of Veterinary Medicine.
For research excellence into how living structures recover and preserve order in morphology amid constant disruption, postdoctoral scientist Lanxi Hu has been awarded the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology’s 2025 Sam and Nancy Fleming Research Fellowship.
The federal research funding supporting projects across the university, including the development of a pediatric heart pump, has been restarted, but those lost months of work will have a lasting impact.
Cornell has won three of 15 major grants from the Bezos Earth Fund, awarded to leverage artificial intelligence in the fight against climate change and environmental challenges.
The first sprayable insecticide made of RNA can target and kill ravenous Colorado potato beetles while sparing most beneficial insects, making it a promising environmentally friendly option.
