From the Vice President for Research |
|
|
Greetings,
It was an exciting day for me when I joined Notre Dame last summer as vice president for research. Today, I am more excited than ever about our work, and I think you'll see why when I share an update about the progress the University has made and what is on the horizon for research at Notre Dame.

Making strides in translational research
|
At Notre Dame, our ambition is not just to break records or become more widely recognized but to live out our mission to be a “powerful means for doing good in the world.” That should not just give us warm feelings about our positive impact. It should fill us with a sense of urgency—to use what we have been given and built and to serve a world deeply in need.

Understudied cell in the brain could be key to treating glioblastoma |
Glioblastoma is one of the most treatment-resistant cancers, with those diagnosed surviving for less than two years. In a study in NPJ Genomic Medicine, Notre Dame researchers have found that a largely understudied cell could offer new insight into how the deadly cancer is able to resist immunotherapy. Read more.

| A Picture of Drought: ND ecologist matching NASA images with field data to measure forest health |
The goal of the project is to disentangle an individual pixel from photo taken from space into its parts on the ground of about 30 by 30 meters, which would make it possible to monitor drought signals from large swaths of forest. The resulting models will mark a major leap forward in predicting forest health and potential wildfires. Read more.
