NEW YORK — Scientists at Columbia University's Nanoscience Center have solved a fundamental, and to date, highly elusive challenge in the fast-developing world of nanotech-molecular electronic devices. In the July 22nd issue of Science, NYSTAR scientist Colin Nuckolls, an associate professor of chemistry, and his colleagues George Tulevski, Matt Myers, Michael Steigerwald, along with Mark S. Hybertsen, from the department of applied physics and applied mathematics, describe how they created a so-called electricity-bridge to allow current to flow efficiently between molecules and nano-sized metals, a process necessary for molecular electronic device construction.

NEW YORK — On Monday, September 12th at 11 am the New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC) - a consortium of 10 biomedical research centers in New York State - celebrated the receipt of a major new research grant (among only 10 given nationally) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the substantial completion of a new wing to house a new program in cryoelectron microscopy, made possible from a grant from the NY State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR). Congressman Charles B. Rangel, State Assemblyman Keith L.T. Wright and Dr. Russell Bessette, Executive Director of NYSTAR made remarks at the Center located in Central Harlem on the campus of the City College of New York. TOP
NEW YORK — The New York Private Equity Network (NYPEN), the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), and Lab-to-Wall Street invite young investigators to a panel discussion and networking event in New York City on November 17th, 2005. The purpose of the event is to foster a discussion on the challenges and benefits of starting and running a company in New York City. The speakers include Dr. Eric Rose, a Nobel Laureate from Columbia University, Andrew Alper, President of NYCEDC, Joel Marcus, the CEO of Alexandria Real Estate Equities and developer of New York City's upcoming East River Science Park, and a private equity specialist. In addition to discussing the challenges of starting a company in New York City, the panel will discuss what the City is doing to help bioscience companies, what the East River Science Park will mean for New York City's bioscience industry and what current trends are developing in the City. The goal for the event is to raise awareness among venture capitalists and scientists of the dynamic changes taking place and exciting opportunities developing in New York City's bioscience industry, as well as provide a forum for networking.
