André Hudson, associate professor in RIT's Thomas H. Gosnell School of Life Sciences, has received a federal award for research that could help in the critical battle to develop new drugs to combat the drastic rise in the number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Rochester Institute of Technology and Synergy Biogas are exploring the environmental benefits of microalgae to clean agricultural wastewater and make biofuels. Jeff Lodge, associate professor in RIT's Thomas Gosnell School of Life Sciences, is running a three-month pilot program.
RIT associate professor of professor L. Kate Wright knows it's a good day when her students get a little loud. She likes to hear the volume rise as students discuss Clicker questions, case studies or the models that represent biological structures because it means they're engaged with the material. Wright’s student-centered and active classrooms have earned her an RIT Eisenhart Award for Outstanding Teaching.
