Mande Holford, a biochemist at CUNY, is exploring the therapeutic potential of marine venom for treating diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Meanwhile, her colleague Jin Young Seo addresses cultural barriers preventing Korean American women from breast cancer screenings, and German Kolmakov works on quantum computing for cybersecurity. Together, these CUNY researchers embody the university's commitment to community-focused scientific discovery, continuing a legacy marked by significant research contributions during major public health crises. The recent recognition of 10 CUNY colleges as leading research institutions further underscores their impact in advancing scientific research.
Holford emphasizes that the field of science is an open frontier where any contribution is valuable, inspiring urban youth to consider scientific careers.
CUNY has a longstanding tradition of public interest research, with significant contributions during past pandemics such as polio and HIV-AIDS.
