A New Jersey leader in economic development is impressed by New Jersey Institute of Technology’s efforts to commercialize research, forge international partnerships and generally be “commercially minded.” Joseph Kelley, deputy chief of staff for economic growth under N.J. Gov. Phil Murphy, reflected on some of NJIT’s past successes after a meeting on campus with deans, department heads, research leaders, the interim provost and top administrators, including Chief External Affairs Officer Angela Garretson and President Teik C. Lim. Kelley described the launch and sale of cell and gene…

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 research…

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, while…

When a Turing Award winner speaks, NJIT faculty and students listen. Jeffrey Ullman, known as a father of the modern compiler at Bell Labs and Princeton University in the 1960-1970s, filled the largest lecture hall in NJIT's Guttenberg Information Technologies Center for his October 14 lecture on data science, as part of the Ying Wu College of Computing’s distinguished speaker series. Ullman won his Turing Award, considered the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in computing, in 2020. He is now professor emeritus at Stanford University. He talked about his new passion, data science, which…

New Jersey Institute of Technology is the top public university in the Northeast for undergraduate entrepreneurship studies, according to The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine. The improvement reflects NJIT's and the Martin Tuchman School of Management's dedicated focus on the importance of training students to become innovators who can positively impact society. It includes a jump of three spots to No. 4 among all Northeast schools, and up four spots to No. 30 nationally.
