Yale researchers, Professor Jan Schroers and Dr. Baran Sarac, have developed a process called “artificial microstructures” to link the structure of a material with the properties. The technique can be applied to optimize and enhance the qualities of everyday materials, such as glass, metals, and polymers, opening the door to the materials of the future.
Researchers at Yale have discovered a connection between hunger control and immune system function, creating the potential for a wide array of further studies involving immune system enhancement.
Yale researchers Professor Mark Gerstein and Dr. Ekta Khurana have led an investigation into non-coding regions of DNA resulting in the identification of cancer triggers for further characterization. Their process can be generalized to uncover triggers for other diseases, and these triggers could be potential targets for therapeutics and precision medicine.
