The Notre Dame Integrated Imaging Facility has been embedded within the University of Notre Dame campus for over ten years working closely with students and faculty alike at the forefront of research to develop and explore critical questions that...

Each year the NDIIF recognizes excellence in imaging through publication as well as art.  Year after year our students continue to impress us with their hardwork, diligence, and research efforts.  Three awards are granted each year.  The awards are judged on the...

Faculty from the College of Engineering and the College of Science have put together a distinctive program to equip students with the skills needed to address complex problems, such as access to clean water and energy efficiency. The program is...

The NSF CAREER award is one of the highest honors given by the U.S. government to young faculty members in engineering and science. 

 Fluorescence imaging has been a boon to research and medicine because of its ability to examine affected areas noninvasively. But the dyes used for these purposes have their disadvantages, and as resolution needs have grown stronger, the stakes for accuracy...

The NDIIF facilities have been working hard to prepare our instruments and spaces for reopening. We encourage all users to communicate directly with our staff and core directors as we move forward in our research efforts.  Below we have highlighted...

  Dr Sergei Rouvimov, Associate Research Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Transmission Electron Microscopy Program Director for the Notre Dame Integrated Imaging Facility passed away on May 29, 2020 after battling ALS for over a year. Sergei...

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame recently developed an all-optical tabletop technique, called infrared photothermal heterodyne imaging (IR-PHI), that beats normal infrared microscopes by overcoming limitations caused by how tightly light can be focused.

The free, multifaceted research repository is designed to showcase and preserve research outputs while allowing users to also tag their affiliated departments, centers, institutes, and facilities. 

The Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study (NDIAS) and the Graduate School have launched a year-long fellowship program that aims to help students accelerate their dissertations, develop their research communication skills, and cultivate professional and scholarly networks, all within the...

A paper published in 2017 from M. Sharon Stack, the Anne F. Dunne and Elizabeth Riley Director of the Harper Cancer Research Institute at the University of Notre Dame, has been selected as a featured article in the special virtual...

During his postdoctoral research, Notre Dame electrical engineer Scott Howard wanted to produce more precise images of the activity within a cell by increasing the power of the microscope’s laser. When he experimented with different power levels, he discovered that his computer...

The Jefferson Science Fellowship Program is designed to further build capacity for science, technology and engineering expertise with the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

With funding from the American Heart Association, Donny Hanjaya-Putra, assistant professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering and in the Bioengineering Graduate Program, will use biomaterials and stem cells to regenerate lymphatic vessels and study their potential for...

A new study from the Notre Dame has shown that synaptic vesicles are used much earlier than previously thought for the formation of the spinal cord during early development.

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have received $2.9 million to develop a new diagnostic platform that could diagnose cancer in as little as three hours by using only one or two drops of blood.

Rebecca Whelan, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry, is excited to be a new faculty member at Notre Dame, where she can now do research with the aid of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.

A paper recently published in Scientific Reports shares that a research team from the University of Notre Dame has engineered a chip that allows thermal imaging with IR detectors. This new chip features unique properties not previously available with conventional...

But a new study by Notre Dame researcher Siyuan Zhang and collaborators, published in Nature Communications, shows that an existing, FDA-approved drug that treats other types of breast cancer may work for TNBC.
