Study to explore nerve-like behavior of bone cells with NSF grant | Cornell Chronicle Cornell biomedical engineers will use the grant to investigate how osteocytes – specialized cells that respond to and regulate forces within bones – interact with and are impacted by the part of the nervous system that controls rest related involuntary functions such as digestion and heart rate.

We are developing engineers who are prepared to shape the future. Our students graduate with hands-on experience and leadership training that empowers them to tackle global challenges.

Historic $100 million investment to expand Engineering’s Duffield Hall | Cornell Chronicle The commitment, the largest in Cornell Engineering’s history, from David A. Duffield ’62, MBA ’64, will significantly expand the college’s existing Duffield Hall, creating a new state-of-the-art home for the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

What a pleasure to celebrate & welcome new Cornell Engineering undergraduates affiliating to our biomedical engineering major - last night in Weill Hall!

"New biodegradable graft could help cardiovascular patients." First-of-its-kind material expands and contracts like blood vessels and is biodegradable; new vascular cells to grow around the graft as the body absorbs it. w/ Cornell Engineering's Yadong Wang.

New biodegradable graft could help cardiovascular patients | Cornell Chronicle The first-of-its-kind material not only expands and contracts like blood vessels but is also biodegradable; new vascular cells to grow around the graft as the body absorbs it.

Hello from NYC!, where select Cornell Engineering undergraduates are spending 2 weeks at Weill Cornell Medicine in our unique clinical immersion program, where they get to see the role engineers play in the medical ecosystem and to gain ideas for their senior design projects!
