Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels natural.

A scholarship program Weill Cornell Medicine created in 2019 reduces medical education debt for students with financial need, freeing them up to take full advantage of medical school, while pursuing a path in medicine based on their passions and interests. The program covers tuition, fees, housing and living expenses.

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have developed a technique to help surgeons reconstruct more natural-looking nipples for patients who have undergone breast reconstruction after mastectomy to treat breast cancer.

Like many surgeons, Dr. Jason Spector is often faced with the challenge of securely closing the abdominal wall without injuring the intestines.
