Understanding the World and Shaping Its Future
Through bold thinking, rigorous scholarship, and cross-cutting collaborations, Yale research pushes the boundaries of knowledge to benefit people and our planet.
Building Blocks for Breakthroughs
From A(nalytical and stable isotopes) to Z(ebrafish phenotyping), research at Yale combines serious inquiry, deep expertise, and state-of-the-art technology.
At a series of autumn Cores Fairs, visitors learn how core facilities can help with their research. Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are among the offerings at West Campus Analytical Core.
Eric Paulson, PhD, tunes the probe under a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer, one of twelve at the Chemical and Biophysical Instrumentation Center (CBIC). The Center also houses instruments for mass spectrometry and X-rays.
A Meissner corpuscle is a group of cells that acts as a touch detector. Its 3D structure was revealed for the first time using enhanced focused ion-beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM). Image credit: Yury Nikolaev, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the Slav Bagriantsev lab.
Liver cancer cells escape a tumor spheroid in a fibrotic environment. This Art in Research contest-winning image was collected by Xiangyu Gong, a postdoctoral associate in the Michael Mak biomedical engineering lab, with a Leica SP8 Confocal microscope.
