Bowen Wang, a doctoral student in biomedical engineering, has been selected to receive the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Young Investigator Award for his abstract presentation, titled “Fracture Risk in Type 2 Diabetes: Longitudinal Glycemic Control-based Prediction and Efficacy of Medications.”
Nathan Meltz, a senior lecturer in the Department of Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an award-winning printmaker, has been chosen to exhibit his work in a show that encourages artists to explore the impacts of COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement.
A new program in Biotechnology and Health Economics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will equip students destined for a science-based career with the quantitative and modeling knowledge in economics needed to succeed in industry and consulting.
Providing managers with the freedom to be entrepreneurial and take risks is essential to corporate innovation, according to recently published research conducted by faculty members in the Lally School of Management at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an alumnus of the Institute.
TROY, N.Y. — More strategic and coordinated travel restrictions could have reduced the spread of COVID-19 in the early stages of the pandemic, data confirms. The conclusion, available in preprint on MedRxiv, an online repository of papers that have been screened but not peer reviewed, stems from new modeling conducted by a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
