UAlbany Professors Thomas Begley and Marlene Belfort present a comprehensive but highly readable and approachable overview of RNA and its role in genetics in "The Conversation"

Early-career STEM researchers shared their work as part of the Graduate Pathway for Scholars program at a presentation and awards ceremony held last week. The growing program aims to encourage students who receive their PhDs in STEM fields at UAlbany to return as faculty members later in their careers.

Maurice Petroccione of the UAlbany Department of Biological Sciences named finalist for SUNY Chancellor's Distinguished PhD Dissertation Award

New UAlbany research shows that tiny mobile structures inside pathogens "collaborate" in previously unknown ways; in so doing, the broader cell learns how to evade drugs designed to kill it. The work advances our understanding of antibiotic resistance and could someday inform the development of new treatments against disaeases like listeriosis.

With the assistance of a fly-sized movie theater and treadmill, of sorts, Assistant Professor Max Turner and his students track how neurons in the fly brain react to visual stimuli, how that translates to movement and what we can learn from fruit flies in the quest to better understand the human brain and how it's impacted by disease.

UAlbany’s nearly $472M in 2024 R&D more than doubled the number the University reported in the NSF Higher Education Research and Development survey in 2023, driven largely by the return of the Department of Nanoscale Science & Engineering and its semiconductor industry R&D partnerships at the NY Creates Albany NanoTech Complex.
