AAU universities conduct a majority of the federally funded university research that contributes to our economic competitiveness, health and well-being, and national security. AAU universities are growing our economy through invention and innovation while preparing the next generation of scientists and engineers for global leadership. By moving research into the marketplace AAU universities are helping to create jobs, and provide society with new medicines and technologies.
A study by researchers at Duke University School of Medicine found that supplying healthy mitochrondra to damaged nerve cells can signifantly help millions managing pain from diabetic neuropathy and chemotherapy.
Researchers from the USF College of Marine Science are studying soft tissue samples from barnacles, oysters, and fish to better understand the state of contamination and its origins in Tampa Bay, Florida's largest estuary.
The advancement lays the groundwork for creating a library of sugar-recognizing proteins that may help detect and treat diverse illnesses.
The olfactory senses of ants help them hunt, detect outsiders, and know their role within a colony. In a new study, researchers have discovered how ants can switch one gene on out of hundreds to ensure their survival.

A new study coordinated by CU Boulder makes clear the extraordinary speed and scale of increases in energy use, economic productivity and global population that have pushed the Earth towards a new geological epoch, known as the Anthropocene. Distinct physical, chemical and biological changes to Earth’s rock layers began around the year 1950, the research found.
Experts at CU Boulder test the danger of playing wind instruments and spreading COVID-19
A team of NYU scientists has developed a method using holographic imaging to detect both viruses and antibodies. The breakthrough has the potential to aid in medical diagnoses and, specifically, those related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Researchers at University of Arizona studied the production of antibodies from a sample of nearly 6,000 people and found immunity persists for at least several months after being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
A team led by Caltech researchers has pinpointed the mechanisms through which the SARS-CoV-2 virus incapacitates human cells, essentially disabling the cell's alarm system so that it cannot call for help or warn nearby cells of the infection.
