At the University-Wide GET SET Teaching Conference, held in April, doctoral candidates Manasi Anand and Ellie Homant, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, were recognized with Ye Awards for excellence in graduate teaching.
Cornell researchers have confirmed that a previously identified biomarker for detecting malignant testicular germ cell tumors – the most common solid cancers in young men – has the potential to improve patient outcomes through early detection.
Researchers from the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Crop Improvement convened in Malawi for intensive workshops aimed at advancing cowpea breeding efforts and building sustainable scientific capacity in East and Southern Africa.
An international team of researchers discovered that coastal urban seagrass ecosystems can significantly reduce human bacterial pathogens, including those with widespread antibiotic resistance, in marine bivalves — a vital food source for people around the world.
Researchers have created a computer model that can help produce farms and food processing facilities control COVID-19 outbreaks, keeping workers safe and the food chain secure.
Cornell’s incubator Class of 2025, composed of startups Llume, Meiogenix and TETmedical, is advancing innovations in human performance monitoring, non-GMO plant breeding and neurological critical care.
For decades, researchers searched for a single “thermosensor”—a biological thermometer buried deep in the plant’s molecular machinery. But a new theory, led by Avilash Singh Yadav, postdoctoral associate at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology and the Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, is flipping that idea on its head.
