Project TORUS is a two-year partnership between CU Boulder, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (which is leading the work), Texas Tech University, the University of Oklahoma and the National Severe Storms Laboratory.
A new drug therapy for cancer treatment, spun out of research performed in a CU Boulder biochemistry lab, may provide better results for patients with solid cancers and hematologic cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma.
The inaugural Research-to-Market (R2M) program—hosted by Venture Partners at CU Boulder—guided researchers-turned-startup founders through the iterative process of finding a product-market fit and refining a value proposition for their respective technologies.
“From a neurobiological perspective, what do you need to form a bond, maintain a bond and overcome a loss?” asks Zoe Donaldson, a CU Boulder assistant professor of behavioral neuroscience and one of the 2018 RIO Faculty Fellows.
New research from a CU Boulder physicist might break open the mathematical puzzle that has stalled string theory research for decades. A University of Colorado Boulder physicist is one step closer to solving a string theory puzzle 20 years in the making.
The Lab Venture Challenge (LVC), hosted annually by Venture Partners at CU Boulder awards grants to campus researchers whose technologies demonstrate high commercial potential.
By using light-activated quantum dots to fire particular enzymes within microbial cells, CU Boulder researchers were able to create “living factories” that eat harmful CO2 and convert it into useful products such as biodegradable plastic, gasoline, ammonia and biodiesel.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO)—the parent organization of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—has just released a catalogue of benchmark data sets, including four from CU Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), to promote as trusted sources, simplify user access and support global policy makers.
In the not-so-distant future, researchers may be able to build atoms to your specifications with the click of a button. It’s still the stuff of science fiction, but a team at CU Boulder reports that it is getting closer when it comes to controlling and assembling particles called “big atoms."
Dr. Thomas H. Zurbuchen will discuss the process of writing successful NASA mission proposals and provide a brief update on how the mission review process may evolve in the near future. Researchers thinking about being a PI or joining a proposal team are invited to attend on Wednesday, June 5 at 2 p.m. in the Old Main Chapel at the CU Boulder Heritage Center.
