Sanjeev Mukerjee, a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Northeastern, is working to develop technology to lower the cost of fuel cells for consumer vehicles.

Pran Nath, who was hired at Northeastern in 1966, has spent his career trying to uncover the laws of physics that govern our universe.

Northeastern hosted more than 100 high school students on its Boston campus Tuesday for Calculus Field Day, where the students competed in teams to solve challenging calculus problems and advance their knowledge of and passion for mathematics.

Stress and fear have far-reaching effects that start in the brain and permeate an individual’s life in lasting ways. Together with the Dalai Lama and other experts, Northeastern neuroscientist Rebecca Shansky is confronting trauma head-on in an effort to help communities in Africa heal from conflict.

Salt marshes play a key role reducing the effects of urbanization and climate change. These marshes absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and the microbes in the marsh break the carbon down. That’s why researchers, like Northeastern University’s Jennifer Bowen, are working to find out how these vital ecosystems tick.

Congratulations to the Northeastern University Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society for earning the title of Outstanding Student Chapter and Green Chemistry Award from the ACS!

Our brains are continually developing – led by a combination of neurological changes and environmental factors – well into adolescence. According to Heather Brenhouse, assistant professor of psychology at Northeastern, there’s a lot of mystery surrounding why the brain evolves the way it does and what factors cause changes in development.

The Northeastern chapter of the Science Club For Girls mentors young women in science, technology, math and engineering fields, giving the younger set the nickname the "STEMinistas."

"I would say that my biggest achieve­ment at North­eastern was man­aging to bal­ance all of the demands on my time needed to meet the aca­d­emic and extracur­ric­ular goals I set for myself, while still man­aging to explore inter­ests unre­lated to these goals and to have fun."

Our Undergraduate Biochemistry Club was honored nationally and on campus. The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) designated the The Northeastern Chapter of the Biochemistry Club as the 2016 Outstanding Chapter. The University has also awarded the group with a 2016 Phoenix Award. Congratulations to our students for this recognition of their enthusiasm […]
