From the earliest of days, researchers have been recording their observations, analyzing what they see to interpret and apply the facts before them. Today, however, imaging especially in biomedical communities requires more than the human eye or even incredibly accurate “cameras.” In cases such as the joint project between Notre...

The work in this paper utilized both the in vivo imaging and electron microscopy facilities in the NDIIF to characterize the functional properties and nanostructure, respectively, of novel nanoparticles.

More advanced manufactured materials are being produced in the 21st century, including, for example, engineered nanoparticles whose exact impact on the environment and human health are unknown, but whose effects could be quite negative. To better understand such threats, researchers are using the Notre Dame Linked Experimental Ecosystem Facility (ND-LEEF)...

Our antibody imaging technique will be crucial for quality control of immune-targeting antigens in therapeutic, diagnostic imaging, and bio-sensing applications.

We report a novel approach that generates a high resolution, three­ dimensional (3D) fluorescent staining atlas of tissue microbiopsies in a microfluidic device without destroying the tissue.

“In general, cases of Zika have definitely decreased in most of Central and South America, but the virus is not gone. The mosquitoes carrying Zika and other diseases are still there, and the risk for another infection outbreak is still quite prevalent,” says Elitza Theel, director of the Infectious Diseases...

The University of Notre Dame has opened its annual competition for the Naughton Fellowships. The prestigious international fellowships provide funding for exceptional Ph.D., masters, or undergraduate students with an aptitude for the STEM disciplines to complete research or study in Ireland or at Notre Dame.

Zoltan Toroczkai, professor of theoretical physics, recently received an international collaborative grant from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Division of Intelligent Information Systems for research on brain neuronal networks. The project is aimed at discovering the fundamental principles of connectivity in the neuronal network of the neocortex and it is...

What started as a small event in 2014 among Notre Dame’s community of soft matter and polymer researchers, has now grown into an annual regional symposium that includes faculty presentations and student posters from four universities. The research touched on various applications of polymer materials in batteries, solar cells, sensors, nanomedicines,...

Notre Dame’s first Life Sciences Symposium brought together leading biomedical researchers for a day of lectures and poster presentations, drawing about 200 students and scientists from across the area.

The Mike and Josie Harper Cancer Research Institute, a collaboration between the University of Notre Dame and Indiana University School of Medicine South Bend, in partnership with Smoke Free St. Joe, will host “Realities of Lung Cancer,” a free, public seminar on the benefits of smoking cessation from 5 to...

Determining how proteins function on a molecular level is crucial to understanding the underlying basis for disease. Now scientists at the University of Notre Dame are one step closer to unraveling the mystery of how intrinsically disordered proteins work, according to new research published in Science.

Sharon Stack Two papers involving ovarian cancer research at the University of Notre Dame’s Harper Cancer Research Institute (HCRI), one featuring new research and the other a review article, were published as cover stories in their respective journals.

Professor Reginald Hill New Notre Dame research has been used to support the Orphan Drug designation for IT-139, a compound that when used in combination with chemotherapy has proved to be significantly more effective in treating pancreatic cancer than the current standard of care.

The newly launched IDEA Center plans to turn the innovations of 15 Notre Dame student and faculty researchers into viable commercial entities in the coming yea r— and to advance the common good in the process.      

The University of Notre Dame will lead an $11.5 million project funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to better understand the genes responsible for drug resistance and virulence in the malaria parasite in order to reduce and ultimately eliminate the deadly disease.

The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) has opened its grant competition for the Fall Pilot Funding for Research Use of Core Facilities. This pilot funding program was created to bring awareness to the state-of-the-art technology and specific expertise available
