NJIT and CHOP Develop Tool for Studying Characteristics of a Single Cell

Wednesday, January 4, 2023
Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and New Jersey Institute of Technology developed new software that integrates a variety of information from a single cell, allowing researchers to see how one change in a cell can lead to several others and providing important clues for pinpointing the exact causes of genetic-based diseases. The findings were published by Nature Communications. Single-cell sequencing allows researchers to look at specific aspects of a cell to determine how it interacts with its microenvironment. This is particularly relevant in cancer...

Two NJIT Students Are Among this Year's 128 Governor's STEM Scholars

Wednesday, November 23, 2022
NJIT students Aliya Laliwala and Mrunmayi Joshi have been selected to be part of this year’s Governor’s STEM Scholars class, which includes 128 scholars from 20 New Jersey counties — the program’s largest cohort ever. The Governor’s STEM Scholars program was created to engage the next generation of research and innovation leaders in the state’s vast STEM economy early. Sixty-four percent of the class identify as female and 83% as students of color. When they graduate in May 2023, they will join an alumni cohort of over 700 Scholars. Laliwala is a freshman majoring in computer science,...

HackNJIT, Back From Online Hiatus, Brings Creative Apps and Gadgets

Thursday, November 10, 2022
Camping isn't the first hobby you associate with an urban campus, but the outdoors theme was a hit at HackNJIT this month, held fully in-person for the first time since 2019 because of the COVID pandemic. Approximately 200 students from New Jersey Institute of Technology, and from neighbors such as Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, Rutgers and Stevens Institute, registered for the annual tribute to API calls and soldering irons. Chief organizer David Garcia, president of NJIT's Association for Computing Machinery chapter, said he was proud to return the event to its former level. "It...

DOE Grant Will Recalibrate Current Climate Change Data

Tuesday, November 8, 2022
Professors Aritra Dasgupta and Chase Wu from the Department of Data Science in NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing are developing software to take more advantage of simulation data used to study climate science through a $145,972 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The project aims to improve existing methods traditionally employed by climate scientists to more reliably predict the effects of cloud simulations related to global warming. The Research and Development Pilot Program awards over $4 million in funding to colleges and universities under-represented in DOE’s...
