By assembling researchers with complementary expertise under one roof, Case Western Reserve is building the critical mass needed to move drug discoveries from the laboratory to patients

This story is the first in a series introducing the research, people and building that will define Case Western Reserve’s next chapter of discovery. Over the coming weeks, we’ll go inside each of the seven research clusters and the resources that make the work possible. When the Interdisciplinary…

No matter their field of study, Case Western Reserve University graduate students are routinely challenged to consider new ways of thinking and examine innovative approaches to age-old questions, often making significant scholarly contributions along the way. That couldn’t happen without…

Carlos Crespo, professor and associate dean for research in the Department of Chemistry, was recently elected as one of the American Society for Photobiology (ASP) councilors for a four-year term. The American Society for Photobiology is a professional, nonprofit scientific organization established…

Chemistry researchers at Case Western Reserve University have found specific markers that may lead to new blood tests for disease

As picturesque as winter weather can be, snowy scenes often present a less desirable, slippery companion: ice. It coats our roadways, clings to windshields and serves as a general hurdle in daily life during the coldest months of the year.Ice-melt products offer a needed solution—but choosing the…

Case Western Reserve University researchers combine novel chemical method with CRISPR gene-editing tools to target disease-specific versions of genetic codeThe gene-editing technique known as CRISPR accelerated biological and medical research in the last decade by allowing scientists to repair the…

Dozens of drug candidates identified that share a common mechanism to stimulate regeneration of the brain’s myelinating cellsResearch published today in the journal Nature provides new understanding about how drugs can repair damaged brain cells that cause disability in patients with multiple…
