Happy Fall semester to all! We’re entering our 10th year at the Advanced Science Research Center at the Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC), and these recent times have seen tremendously constructive news that we’re excited to share.
In August, Mark Hauber joined the CUNY ASRC as its new executive director. He's excited to help advance the ASRC’s mission to be a powerhouse of interdisciplinary research and STEM-profession diversity. CUNY Graduate Center Dean for Sciences Josh Brumberg stepped down as the CUNY ASRC’s interim executive director and is now serving as interim president of the Graduate Center. We are grateful to Josh for his continued work championing the CUNY ASRC across the university and beyond.
Read Mark and Josh's full letter.
Sincerely,
Josh Brumberg and Mark Hauber

Student Researcher Discusses the Benefits of Snail Mucus With NPR
What is snail mucus? That was the question posed by lead author Antonio Cerullo and fellow CUNY researchers in a new study that examines the molecular composition of snail mucus. When analyzing the mucus of a common garden snail, they found it contained a complex collection of proteins, some identified as entirely novel. Listen to Cerullo discuss it on NPR's All Things Considered.

CUNY ASRC Initiatives and Facilities | |
The Environmental Sciences Initiative brings a distinct research vision to the environmental sciences, uniting state-of-the-art analytical capabilities, environmental analytics, and sensing technologies to create fundamental scientific knowledge for addressing the fundamental environmental research questions facing the Planet today and into the future. | |
The Nanoscience Initiative plays a unique but also an integrative role in nanoscience, focusing on the study of dynamic nanoscale systems, from fundamental understanding to applications ranging from biomedicine to food science and green energy. | |
The Neuroscience Initiative actively promotes interdisciplinary approaches for the study of environmental influences on brain function and behavior and to develop transformative technologies and advanced platforms aimed at promoting mental health. | |
Research in the Photonics Initiative encompasses biology, medicine, physics and technology fields such as computer display and lighting, as well as the futuristic fields of quantum information processing and quantum encryption, where data reside on single photons, which are to light what electrons are to electricity. | |
Research in the Structural Biology Initiative brings together biologists, chemists, and physicists to tackle many of life’s central questions. How do cells respond to their surroundings? How do they make copies of themselves? What determines the balance between health and disease? | |
The Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center is equipped with 17 high-end core facilities that provide sophisticated equipment and staff support to researchers across CUNY and beyond. | | |
