On March 8th and 9th, 190 Massachusetts high school students participated in Biotech Futures. Biotech Futures is a day-long college and career exploration event that exposes high school students to the educational opportunities and diverse fields of study in the life sciences at the college level through hands-on laboratory experiences and a campus tour. The event was […]

Last month, a pipeline agreement was finalized between Northeastern University’s Biotechnology program and Loyola University Maryland to streamline the admissions process for prospective Master's students.

Elec­tronic screens whose color-changing tech­nology is inspired by squids. Skin con­structed in the lab from pro­tein fibers to mimic the aging process and test prod­ucts that may slow it down.

On November 14, students in Northeastern’s Biotechnology Professional Science Master’s program gathered in the Curry Student Center to hear their classmates describe the pre-co-op work experiences they had performed during the summer semester. Co-op Coordinator Vanecia Harrison-Sanders moderated the panel. The intent of the pre-co-op is to provide “real-world” learning in industry, government, teaching hospitals, and academic research […]

The College of Science Graduate Program staff sat down with Vanecia Harrison-Sanders and Patricia Corrigan to discuss their work in graduate co-op.

A team led by University Distinguished Professor of Biology Kim Lewis received a five-year, $9 million grant from the National Institute of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to launch a novel platform for developing antibiotics that kill pathogens without encountering resistance.

Biotech entrepreneurship took center stage at Northeastern on Friday, when four teams of graduate students pitched their startups to a panel of judges at a competition that wrapped up an eight-week boot camp.

Metas­tasis is the cause of approx­i­mately 90 percent of deaths among cancer patients. How does metas­tasis come about? And can we stop it? Research published by Dr. Ashagiri and his team in Biophysical Journal reveals how the abnormal protein-​​fiber scaf­folding of tumors and the agility of the cancer cells them­selves come together in a per­fect storm to […]

On Friday, March 18, faculty and staff of Northeastern’s Biotechnology Programs welcomed a delegation of 18 professors, physician’s and research fellows from Anhui Province in China. The group spent time in New Jersey and Massachusetts visiting a variety of sites in order to learn about the U.S. biotechnology industry. The delegation wanted to visit Northeastern in order […]

The prevailing view of research science is that professors and laboratory staff work on obscure challenges for which a lifetime might not be enough time to solve. Or that their projects might have limited application in the ‘real’ world. If that's how you think, you haven’t met Dr. Barry Karger.

Dr. John Engen uti­lizes hydrogen exchange mass spec­trom­etry to make con­fir­ma­tion of biosimilars a fea­sible task. His work was recently high­lighted in the journal Biopharm International.
