First-of-its-kind nanosensor could help diagnosis and treatment of neurological disease
Every movement in the human body—from lifting our arms to our beating hearts—is regulated in some way by signals from our brains. Until recently, scientists often tracked and understood that brain-body communication only after the fact, sort of like listening to a voicemail as opposed to being on a call. But researchers at Northeastern have […]

Northeastern’s COVID-19 test lab now processes pool tests for K-12 schools
Northeastern’s Life Sciences Testing Center is now processing COVID-19 samples for K-12 schools across Massachusetts. As the commonwealth strives to bring students of all ages back into the physical classroom safely this spring, Massachusetts has launched a coronavirus testing program in public K-12 and special education schools. It’s the first statewide program like this in […]
Northeastern’s COVID-19 Testing Is Identifying New Variants Faster Than Other Labs
When Northeastern began outlining its COVID-19 testing plan last spring, Jared Auclair, director of Northeastern’s testing lab, had a hunch: The university needed a monitoring system that could adapt to inevitable mutations of the virus in the future. As the pandemic unfolded, viral mutations were top-of-mind for Auclair, whose background in drug resistance in HIV […]
