Using new analytics to understand tiny mineral crystals, a Yale G&G team has discovered evidence for the effect of volcanic activities on global climate. Because the zircon crystals that were investigated have a particularly long lifetime, this innovative technique carries potential for the future of climate change research.
The CEID was bustling with activity this summer, as teams of engineering students developed innovative devices to combat real-world problems. One such invention was Acantha, a one-handed catheter delivery system developed by Yale engineering students Brandon Hudik and Andres Ornelas Vargas. This duo is continuing their work beyond their eight-week fellowship at the CEID and plan to scale up the development of their product.
You have just finished watching a great movie on Netflix. However, the night is still young, and you want to watch another movie. But where
Alumnus Francis Collins (PhD ’74) initially held little interest for the field of biology. Yet he went on to successfully direct the Human Genome Project, the largest endeavor in genetic research. Collins now serves as Director of the NIH, the largest contributor to medical research in the world.
Proteins accomplish some of the most complex biological mechanisms in the human body. They form the basis of the immune system. They are responsible for
Scientists are working towards better methods of drug delivery for diseases that attack the brain.
The Crews lab at Yale has developed variations on a class of proteins called PROTACs, which destroy rogue proteins within cancerous cells. Craig Crews has even created a company to bridge the gap between research and the real world.
