Research with Impact
NYU has a long tradition of innovation, pursuing research that has a profound impact on the lives of real people. Samuel Morse perfected the telegraph on campus in the 1830s; a century later, engineering discoveries laid the groundwork for technologies like radar and the microwave.
Today, our medical teams are transforming the field of transplantation and making discoveries in the lab that enabled a child to walk again. And one professor solved a decades-old conjecture—a feat being called “one of the top mathematical achievements of the 21st century,” which may bring new applications in computer science and cryptography.
Advancing science and technology is one of the four strategic pathways that guide NYU’s institutional priorities.
