On the eve of their commencement, students from Weill Cornell Medical College and Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences were recognized for their outstanding achievements.
The event, sponsored by the institution’s BioVenture eLab, is the culmination of a nine-week mentoring program that is designed to improve the ability of Weill Cornell Medicine clinicians and researchers to commercialize their concepts.
A new technique developed by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators that creates an unusually stable form of RNA may illuminate many cellular processes and enable new kinds of gene therapies.
The use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may improve treatment and result in more accurate diagnoses for patients who experience a type of heart attack caused by a severely narrowed artery, called an NSTEMI, finds a new study from NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
Dr. Matthew Greenblatt, an assistant professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, has been awarded the 2019 Pershing Square Sohn Prize for Young Investigators in Cancer Research to support his work studying tumor growth in bone.

While heart attacks that cause classic symptoms such as pressure and pain in the chest are an established risk factor for stroke because they can lead to blood clot formation, new research by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators indicates that heart attacks that have few, if any, recognized symptoms may also increase risk.
The addition of an oral immunomodulatory drug to a commonly employed antibody therapy is more effective against chronic, indolent lymphoma than the antibody alone, according to the results of a Phase 3 clinical trial led by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators.
