The Office for Research at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has released its Rutgers Research and Innovation Annual Impact Report for Fiscal Year 2025.
Physicist Lucien Dupuy–whose work has captured international recognition--was one of six finalists to receive a Blavatnik Regional Award for Young Scientists, which honors outstanding postdoctoral scientists from research institutions across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
The Rutgers Agrivoltaics Program (RAP), a project at Rutgers focused on “agrivoltaics” (also known as “dual-use” solar), is showing that a farm’s energy needs and expenses can be lowered through the use of solar panels in fields, while at the same time allowing the sun to nurture crops planted beneath those panels.
Born out of Rutgers research and nurtured through university–industry collaboration, Queens Carbon exemplifies how academic innovation can drive both climate solutions and economic growth.
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is at the center of the state’s world-renowned research and innovation ecosystem. As the largest public research institution in the Garden State, Rutgers helps to build bridges between companies, higher education research institutions, and government agencies — all in the name of advancing discoveries to address worldwide problems.
NanoNewron, a biotechnology startup developing humanized biologics aiming to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to treat central nervous system (CNS) neurodegenerative diseases, is entering Phase 2 of its TNF-alpha inhibitor program for Alzheimer’s disease. The therapeutic platform is based on research developed at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
At the CCIB's Summer Research Showcase, graduate and undergraduate student researchers presented their findings and highlighted the investigations they had conducted over the past several months.
Under the guidance of Professor of Chemistry and Center for Computational Biology (CCIB) faculty member Jinglin Fu, Rutgers–Camden students are benefiting from a grant of almost $500,000 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The goal of the research is to produce a new nucleic acid nanoparticle-based delivery system for the genome editing of blood stem cells.
The Rutgers Immersive Learning through Science Storytelling Lab, in the School of Environmental and Biological sciences, supports students from a wide variety of majors to partner with Rutgers researchers in the co-creation of compelling video narratives that communicate science as journeys of discovery for peer and public audiences. The Lab’s innovative pedagogical model was recently recognized by the New Jersey State Senate resolution for increasing public trust in science, developing science film leaders, and establishing a model worthy of emulation.
