Through nearly $800,000 in new support from the National Science Foundation this summer, lab researchers are focused on South Asia and the Middle East.
The funding supports phase two of “Project Pythia,” a collaborative effort to collect high-quality interactive learning tools for Python-based data analysis and visualization in the geosciences.
Researchers are using data from Hurricane Maria to assess the critical infrastructure vulnerabilities that still exist in Puerto Rico around extreme weather events, specifically for socially vulnerable populations.
UAlbany's Center for Health Workforce studies shares results from its annual survey of nursing programs in New York State.
Having a defense attorney present at an initial bail hearing lowered the use of cash bail and pretrial detention without increasing the odds that a defendant won’t show up at a preliminary hearing, according to a new study co-authored by UAlbany Professor of Public Administration and Policy Shawn Bushway.
University at Albany’s Professor Li Niu has received new funding to support his research investigating new treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The proposed work will build on his lab’s existing research in this area, with a focus on testing RNA aptamers designed to block excessive activity of glutamate receptors, which causes cell death in the spinal cord and brain. The team hopes that their findings will help inform a new and an effective approach to ALS treatment.
The Center for Health Workforce Studies (CHWS) at the University at Albany’s School of Public Health released a new report— Service-Obligated Providers in New York State —that shows how service-obligated programs are helping fill critical health care gaps in underserved regions across New York State. The report maps where health care professionals who received incentives, such as loan repayment, are fulfilling their service obligations, and includes regional breakdowns by provider type and programs utilized.
Researchers at the University at Albany’s RNA Institute have demonstrated a new approach to DNA nanostructure assembly that does not require magnesium. The method improves the biostability of the structures, making them more useful and reliable in a range of applications.
New York’s bail reform law had a negligible effect on crime, a study by a recent PhD recipient and a professor in the University at Albany’s School of Criminal Justice found.
