The eleven students from the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences and the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences participated in the eighth annual Three-Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition, which challenged the young scientists to trim the scientific jargon and share their thesis projects creatively.
A historic investment from Board of Fellows member Israel Englander will advance Weill Cornell Medicine’s growing research enterprise and support critical initiatives throughout the institution.
The 11th annual Appel Alzheimer's Disease Research Institute Symposium brought together leading scientists and clinicians in the field to present the latest advances in understanding Alzheimer’s and related neurodegenerative diseases.
In her new role, Sheil will jointly lead the Office of External Affairs and oversee its more than 40-member Division of Communications and Public Affairs.
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell Tech and Cornell's Ithaca campus have demonstrated the use of AI-selected natural images and AI-generated synthetic images as neuroscientific tools for probing the visual processing areas of the brain.
In November, Weill Cornell Medicine commemorated Dr. Carol Storey-Johnson’s illustrious career with an honor that immortalizes her value for generations to come: the installation of a portrait hanging close to the main entrance of the Meyer Education Building, by the medical education administrative suite.
The Dean’s Symposium on Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which took place Nov. 7, celebrated innovation and Weill Cornell Medicine’s entrepreneurial spirit.
Located one block from Weill Cornell Medicine’s main campus on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the site will add approximately 200,000 square feet of dedicated research space.
Dr. Bishoy M. Faltas, the Gellert Family-John P. Leonard, M.D. Research Scholar and an assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, has been awarded a $4 million, seven-year MERIT grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Dr. Conor Liston, professor of psychiatry and of neuroscience in the Department of Psychiatry and the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute at Weill Cornell Medicine, received the 2023 Thomas William Salmon Medal in Psychiatry from The New York Academy of Medicine.
Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine provide the first national estimate of caregivers’ pain and arthritis experiences that can limit their ability to perform necessary tasks while caring for older family members.
A team led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine has used an AI-based approach to uncover underlying patterns among the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age, termed social determinants of health (SDoH), and then linked each pattern to children’s health outcomes.
In patients with severe artery blockage in the lower leg, an artery-supporting device called a resorbable scaffold is superior to angioplasty, which has been the standard treatment, according to the results of a large international clinical trial co-led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian.
A drug currently in clinical trials as a cancer therapy can also stimulate pancreatic beta cells to secrete insulin, revealing a previously unknown mechanism for insulin regulation in type 2 diabetes, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
Co-led by Dr. David Artis at Weill Cornell Medicine, the Allen Discovery Center for Neuroimmune Interactions at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai hopes to revolutionize the field of medicine with a groundbreaking project to understand how the human body senses health and disease.
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have uncovered a novel route to stimulate the growth of healthy insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells in a preclinical model of diabetes. The findings hold promise for future therapeutics that will improve the lives of individuals with type 2 diabetes—a condition that affects more than half a billion people worldwide.
