Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can shut down a key set of genes, rendering itself “immunologically invisible” — sometimes for years.
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.
Weill Cornell Medicine researchers found that restricting telehealth prescriptions for opioid use disorder could keep thousands from accessing buprenorphine, a medication that helps people recover from addiction.
Tirzepatide (trade name Zepbound) promoted greater weight loss in individuals with obesity than semaglutide (trade name Wegovy) in a clinical trial that compared the safety and efficacy of the injectable drugs.
Knocking out a single gene reprograms part of the large intestine to function like the nutrient-absorbing small intestine; Weill Cornell investigators showed that this reversed the malnutrition that results when most of the small intestine is removed.
Teams of health care providers called Accountable Care Organizations participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program have saved Medicare between $4.1 billion and $8.1 billion from 2012–2019, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
Cornell researchers developed a new way to safely heat up specific areas inside the body by using biodegradable polymers that contain tiny water pockets, a technology that could lead to precise and noninvasive diagnostics and therapeutics.
Research fromKaitlin Woolley, a professor of marketing at Cornell University who specializes in motivation science and decision making, provides a few insights to avoid temptation: think about the short-term costs of indulging.
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.
