Although it is widely known that many cells are polarized, the mechanism by which this polarity is manifested is not very well understood. In research recently published in Developmental Cell, University researchers are beginning to elucidate these mechanisms.

Sometimes, even chemical engineers have reason to party.

On February 4th, 2010, the chemical engineers of Cornell gathered to celebrate Prof. Matthew DeLisa, chemical and biomolecular engineering. He received tenure in May 2009, but decided to postpone the celebration until Olin Hall's renovation was complete. Although postponed, the party went on.
