Northeastern’s researchers are exploring critical issues in drug discovery and delivery, medical imaging, urban health, healthcare delivery and rehabilitation medicine to address health issues integral to our quality of life.
With its proximity to some of the nation's top hospitals and a rich environment of community health centers and pharmaceutical firms, the University is in an unparalleled position to pursue research with direct applications to medicine and health.
Northeastern is tackling the challenge of protecting our country in an age of new targets and new threats. Researchers from across our campus are developing protective technology to deal with potential threats by land, sea [biomimetic robotics, underwater wireless communications], and even cyberspace.
This important, highly relevant research has earned the University significant recognition from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Agency.
How can we balance industry's needs with a clean environment? How can we build a better health-care system for today and the generations to come? What's the best way to manage natural resources? Researchers at Northeastern are pioneering the answers.
Studying water and energy issues, designing better systems for public health, and shepherding marine resources are all integral to the University's cross-disciplinary promise to the future.
Northeastern University is internationally renowned for its excellence in fundamental,
interdisciplinary and use-inspired research. The University is home to
