New York University just launched a quantum research institute that's breaking down the walls between scientists, engineers, and real-world companies. The goal: turn quantum science from theory into technology that actually works.
Asian American women face higher rates of liver cancer and heart disease, yet receive almost no research funding and are left out of most health studies. Now, a public health expert is leading the charge to rewrite the rules.
NYU Langone Health just secured nearly $70 million from the National Institutes of Health to turn cutting-edge research into real treatments faster. Over the next seven years, this funding will help scientists move discoveries from the lab to patients who need them.
NYU Langone Health just secured nearly $70 million over seven years to help scientists turn lab discoveries into real treatments for patients faster. It's the highest level of funding available nationally for this type of research.
NYU is solving diseases faster by throwing out the old playbook: instead of keeping scientists in separate buildings, they're mixing engineers, doctors, and AI experts into teams focused on beating specific diseases. Early wins include a startup detecting airborne pathogens and "inverse vaccines" that could cure celiac disease and allergies.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Researchers developed tiny particles that use light to heat and destroy tumors while leaving healthy cells untouched. The biodegradable treatment could offer a gentler alternative to chemotherapy and radiation.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
A new AI system from China's Zhejiang University just claimed the top spot on an international test for autonomous scientific research, beating out major competitors. The breakthrough shows how AI is getting better at thinking through complex research problems independently.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Billions in private donations are accelerating life-saving medical discoveries that might otherwise take decades or never happen. From cancer treatments to brain disease research, philanthropic funding is helping researchers pursue bold ideas with the flexibility government grants can't provide.

After nearly 18 months of halted funding that threatened decades of HIV and TB research, the US National Institutes of Health has reversed its ban on South Africa. The decision restores hope for global health progress and hundreds of research jobs.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
Finland's Kordelin Foundation is handing early career researchers €45,000 grants to turn their doctoral work into real-world impact. The program supports fresh PhDs exploring everything from groundbreaking research to startup ventures.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
NYU faculty won three major projects in a fiercely competitive federal program that's using AI to supercharge how fast scientists can make breakthroughs. Out of 5,000 applications nationwide, only 278 were chosen.
Scientists have discovered how everyday discrimination leaves a biological mark on the immune system, offering new hope for understanding and preventing stress-related health problems. The research opens doors for targeted interventions that could help millions experiencing chronic social stress.
