Chancellor on CUNY research and climate initiatives
The Chancellor discusses CUNY research impacts including an AI model for breast cancer detection at City College, the NYC Urban Heat Portal at Hunter, and the FloodNet flood monitoring partnership with NYU.
Turning to another vital area, CUNY's research enterprise does not simply advance knowledge.
It has a real impact on the quality of life for millions of New Yorkers.
For example, faculty researchers at City College, working with Memorial Sloan Kettering, have developed a groundbreaking AI model that can
detect breast cancer earlier and more accurately.
And projects like the New York City Urban Heat Portal at Hunter College and our partnership with the city and NYU on the FloodNet real-time flood monitoring program are helping address climate emergencies.
