In recent years, researchers have begun to fight cancer by genetically engineering a patient’s own immune system to target the disease. Quad Technologies, a company that grew out of a Northeastern research lab, has been developing technology to facilitate this process. This summer, Quad Technologies was acquired by a global life sciences company that will help […]

A group of 26 researchers at Northeastern is working on new technology that would allow doctors to zoom in on these minute interactions. The new Systems Bioanalysis and Chemical Imaging Institute will focus on finding ways to image the chemistry of our bodies.

Bushra Dabbagh was in a race against time. A Syrian student accepted to Northeastern’s biotechnology master’s program, she had to secure her visa in the short window before the Trump administration’s travel ban locked her out of the United States altogether.

Northeastern researchers have created an adhesive hydrogel that is 15 times stronger than current options for repairing nerve damage. The hydrogel could replace sutures, offering a better way to regenerate nerves that control muscle feeling and movement.

Some countries take months or even years to approve drugs. Northeastern researcher Jared Auclair trains regulators around the world to help speed up this process.

The deadly strain of leishmaniasis infects 300,000 people annually, causing 20,000 deaths, and is the second largest cause of parasitic death after malaria. For two Northeastern professors, Richard Wamai and Michael Pollastri, controlling the disease is a top priority.
