Research
Collaborating across disciplines, Cornell faculty and students push the boundaries of knowledge and translate findings into real-world outcomes.
Breakthrough Discoveries
Our most complex challenges cannot be addressed by a single field or research focus. Working across an unmatched range of expertise, Cornell scholars are pursuing partnerships that do the most good for people and our planet.
From protecting the world’s water systems using snail-inspired robots to scoop up microplastics – to minimizing waste and optimizing poultry health using upcycled brewers’ grain, Cornell research teams are combining knowledge to tackle global challenges.
Purpose-Driven Science
Cornell researchers seek to create knowledge, deepen our understanding of the world, and apply findings for lasting impact — from local to global scales.
A Culture of Collaboration
From Ithaca to New York City and across the state, Cornell scholars combine their disciplinary strengths through more than 200 centers, institutes, programs, and laboratories.
An Engine for Innovation
Working across a network of public and private partners and entrepreneurs, Cornell accelerates translation of ideas and research into products, technologies, and companies with real-world impact and drives regional and state economic growth.
