Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Traditional chemotherapy drugs like 5-fluorouracil are poorly soluble, inefficient at reaching cancer cells, and cause severe side effects by damaging healthy tissue. In a promising advance for cancer ...

Fittingly, Matthew Casey’s “dinner party description” of his research in computational social choice can be framed through the very logistics of dinner party planning.

Algorithm design and analysis is fundamental to all areas of computer science and gives a rigorous framework for the study optimization. This course provides an introduction to algorithm design ...

Electrical and computer engineering has an enormously successful history of revolutionizing our lives through inventions such as computers, cell phones, and digital cameras. Northwestern is building ...

Industrialization disrupted the labor of artisans and craftworkers, just as the era of information technology and automation shifted workforce tasks and led to occupational obsolescence. How will the ...

The MS in Electrical Engineering at Northwestern is designed for those ready to shape the next era of technological innovation. This is not just a degree — it’s a launchpad for engineers who want to ...

There was a lack of effective, cell-free biomaterials for bladder tissue regeneration that could reliably restore function without the complexities and risks of cell-seeded scaffolds. The breakthrough ...
