A new approach to species identification has been developed, combining DNA testing with other factors like behavior and geography to confirm discoveries. This method addresses the limitations of DNA testing alone in identifying new species, particularly when forces like natural selection affect genetic code.
A new Rowan University study reveals a 50-year trend in Atlantic hurricane intensification linked to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. The research shows that hurricanes are developing and strengthening faster, with more intense storms along the US east coast.
The Camden Opioid Research Initiative will investigate the genetic and biological factors that contribute to opioid use disorder, using a three-pronged approach with biobank samples and studies on chronic pain patients and medication-assisted treatment. The goal is to develop new treatments and prevent overdose deaths in New Jersey.
The Rowan Venture Fund will provide seed money for research ideas, accelerating growth and innovation at the university. With a focus on engineering, medical education, health sciences, and business, the fund aims to commercialize technologies and invest in startups.
The Henry M. Rowan Family Foundation is transforming engineering education at Rowan University with the establishment of a new doctoral program and the creation of the Henry Rowan Engineering Ph.D. Fellowship Program and the Henry Rowan Engineering Globalization Fellowship Program for Undergraduates.
Researchers at Rowan University and Penn Medicine developed a high-accuracy method to diagnose early-stage Alzheimer's using EEG signals. The test, which can be done in a physician's office, has an accuracy rate of 82-85% and may provide earlier treatment and improved quality of life for those affected.
