A study from Cornell researchers could enable a quantum leap forward in identifying and deciphering cancer-driving genetic mutations, the first step in developing effective therapeutics.
Brian Crane began as Director of the Weill Center for Cell and Molecular Biology on January 1, 2025. He is only the second Director in the History of the Weill Institute since its founding by inaugural Director Scott Emr in 2008.
Researchers found that at low levels of mercury, selenium additions did seem to help mayfly larva from accumulating mercury. But at high mercury levels – the condition in which environmental remediation is most needed – selenium actually made mercury accumulation worse.
Dr. Craig Stephen and Dr. Marcela Uhart, leading experts in wildlife health and the One Health paradigm, have been selected as the inaugural Cornell K. Lisa Yang Center for Wildlife Health Distinguished Speakers.

Flowers grow stems, leaves and petals in a perfect pattern again and again. A new Cornell study shows that even in this precise, patterned formation in plants, gene activity inside individual cells is far more chaotic than it appears.
Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station (Cornell AES) manages nine research farms and 127,000 square feet of greenhouse space on Ithaca’s campus and across New York state. While these facilities are designed to support research, they are also used as unique teaching tools for two dozen courses covering topics in plant science, soil science, entomology, food systems, agricultural machinery, and more.
The Feb. 28 event will provide a forum for scientists, social scientists and humanities scholars to discuss challenges to research support in response to recent major changes to federal funding.
