Seventeen graduate degree programs at Rochester Institute of Technology and the graduate schools in business and engineering are among the best in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report’s annual rankings.

BiRed Imaging, co-founded by Professor Satish Kandlikar, blends infrared camera capture, numerical simulation, and artificial intelligence-driven algorithms to accurately detect the presence, size, and location of tumors. The revolutionary process spares patients painful breast compression, radiation exposure, false alarms, and unnecessary anxiety.

Using a non-traditional, micro-organism separation method, researchers at RIT discovered a faster technique that can be used to distinguish cells that are resistant to antibiotics or cancer.

For the fall 2024 academic year, Gaborski has been appointed department head and will oversee a program that has expanded since it began to include more than 300 students in undergraduate, master’s and doctoral programs.

The new engineering master’s degrees will serve to meet demands in increasing renewable energies, personalized healthcare technologies, and diagnostic system improvements. The project management MS allows students the ability to better specialize to their specific interests, giving them a competitive edge in their field of interest and making them more valuable to an employer.

Becoming an AIMBE Fellow is one of the organization's most prestigious honors, representing the most accomplished individuals across academia, industry, education, clinical practice, and government.

RIT students learn about tapping trees and gathering sap during the class Maple Syrup and our Environment. Instructors hope students connect with nature.

Pickin' Splinters talks to biomedical sciences student Carter Wilkie about his hockey success.

Diva Magazine speaks to Amanda Goodhines ’20 (biomedical engineering) about her journey.

In tumors, cells follow microscopic fibers, comparable to following roads through a city. Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology developed a new technique to study different features of these “fiber highways” to provide new insights into how cells move efficiently through the tumor environment.

Researchers are improving non-invasive treatment options for degenerative disc disease, an ailment that impacts 3 million adults yearly in the U.S. Using state-of-the-art gene editing technology in mesenchymal stem cells, the researchers will add to the growing field of regenerative medicine, the process of producing cellular therapies to alleviate pain and lack of mobility.

Maggie Brooks, a biomedical engineering graduate, begins a Fulbright experience this fall at the University of Southampton in its Amputation and Prosthetic Rehabilitation graduate degree program. A top school for people-centered healthcare, it is a good fit for the scholar who is blending technology and design with doing good.
