Collaboration offers new approach to tackling rare blood cancers

Personalized approaches have dramatically improved outcomes for many patients with non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas yet the same is not true for patients with more rare lymphoma types that originate in T cells. 

Reimagining Medicaid to safeguard America’s children

As states reassess Medicaid coverage following recent federal policy changes and the end of pandemic-era protections, researchers are advocating for evidence-based health care policy reform and expanded Medicaid coverage for children.

Disrupting genome architecture selectively impairs developmental genes

A new study helps resolve a long-standing paradox in biology about genome architecture and cell function, which may provide insights into certain developmental disorders and cancers.

Breakthrough takes big step toward safe, reversible male contraception

A proof of principle study in mice, six years in the making, shows how targeting a natural checkpoint in meiosis, the process by which sex cells reproduce, safely stopped sperm production.  

What can individuals do to prevent the next pandemic?

Elisha Frye, D.V.M. ’10, explains how Cornell’s Animal Health Diagnostic Center works at the front lines of detecting and preventing diseases that can jump between animals and humans.

Research becomes reality for biomed startups

Three new biomed startups demonstrate efficacy of Cornell gap funding programs.

New genetic toolkit enables genome-wide analysis

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful new genetic toolkit that allows scientists to study how genes function at the level of individual cells, an advance that could accelerate discoveries in development, neuroscience and disease.
