Historic partnership promises bright future

Lehigh University partners with Brookhaven National Laboratory, the first of its kind between NSLS-II and an academic research institution
 
In a 600,000 square-foot facility less than a three-hour drive from Lehigh University sits a machine with the engineering prowess to literally illuminate new scientific discoveries.
 

Impacting societal change through interdisciplinary strength

Lehigh has announced the formation of three Interdisciplinary Research Institutes (IRIs): the Institute for Functional Materials and Devices, the Institute for Data, Intelligent Systems, and Computation, and the Institute for Cyber–Physical Infrastructure and Energy.
 
Lehigh’s IRIs will create communities of scholars and will catalyze crucial research in areas in which Lehigh can take a leading position on the national and international stage and make lasting societal contributions.
 

Catch-and-release tumor cell detection device undergoes clinical trial

Lehigh professor engineers a better cancer blood test to detect early tumors
 
For years, bioengineer Yaling Liu has been in pursuit of the deadly tumor cell. Liu has been perfecting a microfluidic device the size of two quarters that has the ability to catch and release circulating tumor cells (CTCs)—cancer cells that circulate in a cancer patient’s blood. Such a device could lead to earlier detection of primary tumors and metastasis, as well as determine the effectiveness of treatment—all through a simple, non-invasive blood test.

Taking the gamble out of Ebola outbreaks

Lehigh research pair awarded NIH grant to assess spread of disease
 
Roll a typical 6-sided die and the chance that it will land on any given side is one in six. With a pair of dice, the probability of rolling an ordered pair is one in 36.
 
When it comes to predicting Ebola outbreaks, we are not so lucky.
