The National Cancer Institute’s Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer has tapped a multidisciplinary research team, comprising members of the Charles River and Medical Campuses, to launch a training center to help grow the next generation of nanomedicine researchers in cancer.

Texas A&M University

  • Let there be light

    Dr. Alexey Belyanin, professor of physics at Texas A&M University, and Belyanin research group members Yongrui Wang and Dr. Aleksander Wojcik are part of a team of scientists that first predicted and recently observed this effect, known as superfluorescence, in solid-state materials -- in this case, electron-hole pairs created in a semiconductor using lasers.

University of North Texas

  • UNT undergraduates conduct hands-on research

    Students interested in the medical field are drawn to UNT because it is a place where, as undergraduates, they can conduct hands-on research that can lead to extraordinary careers. Just ask Edward Ramos and Sharon Y.R. Dent.

DePaul University

  • Research with real-world impact

    Dorothy Kozlowski has spent two years of funding from the Department of Defense to discover better rehabilitation protocols for cases of traumatic brain injury. The research addresses treatment-critical questions: Which rehabilitation strategies work, in what combinations? What’s the optimal order and timing of the strategies? How much, how soon? How might rehabilitation be combined with drug therapy to yield better results? “This research is breaking new ground,” she says.

University of Dayton

  • Ready for Takeoff

    A record number of students are enrolling in engineering at the University of Dayton, a school that ranks in the top 25 in the nation for sponsored engineering research and development.

  • From Here, It’s Possible

    As the university embarks on becoming the state’s next national research university, the opportunities for all could not be greater. See all the possibilities that Texas Tech University has to offer.

Technische Universitat Darmstadt

  • Readily Stimulated: "Smart" Polymers

    Darmstadt researchers plan to selec¬tively control the properties of underlying materials utilizing thin, “smart,” plastic films. For example, paper might be induced to release print¬ing inks, if necessary, chemical reactions might be started and inter¬rupted as required, or medications might be tailored to affect only certain parts of the body.

University of Houston

Vanderbilt University

  • Post transplant baby a miracle

    Traditionally, women who have undergone transplants are not encouraged to have children because of the associated risks to the mother and baby during the pregnancy. But Heidi Schaefer, M.D., a Vanderbilt nephrologist, said it is time to rethink the possibility of childbirth after transplant.

Case Western Reserve University

  • Too Many Texts?

    Researchers surveyed a cross section of high school students from an urban Midwestern county and assessed the association between communication technology and health behaviors.

Bryant University

  • Expanding scope of research with REDay

    Peering at millennia-old cells through a powerful microscope; plugging volumes of data into prototype statistical models; teasing out the critical components a business case study – all in a day’s work for Bryant faculty and students.

  • A New Application for an Old Drug

    The threat of a new influenza pandemic has emerged as one of the leading health concerns of the 21st century. But while pharmaceutical companies race to develop a successful vaccine, scholars at HKU are employing a distinctly Chinese approach to the problem.

University of Arkansas at Little Rock

  • Information Quality Establishes Value

    Right from the start, Acxiom Corporation saw the value in financially supporting the new Information Quality program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. As the world leader in data management, Acxiom had executives who recognized that developing a graduate program in Information Quality just a few miles away from its global headquarters in Little Rock would provide outstanding professional development opportunities for its employees in the data quality field and also help build a skilled local workforce from which they could hire later.

Higher Colleges of Technology

  • Educational Technology

    Educational Technology at the Higher Colleges of Technology is driven by the principal that technology helps to engage students in learning process. Students across 16 HCT campuses learn in a technologically sophisticated educational environment that encourages the development of independent and life-long learning skills, necessary to succeed in a fast changing world.

  • Tackling Cyberbullying

    Advances in technology mean that now almost everyone has a mobile phone or internet access; with this huge increase in electronic communication comes the dark world of cyberbullying – a specific type of bullying by electronic means, including texts, video clips (eg ‘happy slapping’), hoax calls, and malicious behaviour through e-mails, social networking sites (eg Facebook, MySpace, Bebo), through blogs, and instant messaging (eg MSN).

University of Massachusetts Amherst

  • Cool Fuel

    In the fight to reduce our society's dependency on fossil fuels and minimize the ravages of climate change, one weapon stands out: biofuel, made from renewable plant material called biomass. UMass Amherst is proud to count among its own George Huber, a leading biofuel researcher who serves as John and Elizabeth Armstrong Professional Development Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering.
