From biology to the physical sciences, Dyson faculty and
their students have made some exciting advances.

ands-on academic examination is one of the hallmarks of a Pace University education, and
Dyson students and faculty are at the forefront of some world-class research across the
scientific spectrum.
In the last year, on the New York City campus, they have explored ways to stop the spread of
diseases and infections through the development of a new patented antimicrobial compound, studied
the molecular underpinnings of neurological diseases such as epilepsy, and examined enhanced
sampling preparation methods for extraction in multiple research fields.
On the Pleasantville campus, they successfully stopped the proliferation of breast and pancreatic
cancer cells, developed new ecological software for modeling geographic distributions of wildlife
species, and made strides in reducing human hearing loss through the unlikely study of fish.
Here's a closer look at some of the pioneering work and its impact:
