Center for Emerging and Innovative Sciences

Rochester’s Center for Emerging and Innovative Sciences drives research commercialization in key technology fields, from photonics to life sciences.

Four grants from the Center of Excellence (CoE) in Data Science are helping companies translate the cutting-edge science of University researchers into improved health care, while also benefiting the region’s economy.

Inspired by Austin's South by Southwest conference, the organizers of this year's event partnered with RIT and the City of Rochester to highlight the region as a source for innovation.

Using a new approach to flat-panel design, Mark Bocko and his team are creating inexpensive prototypes of speakers that double as wall hangings and overhead lights.

Headquartered in Rochester, Carestream is now collaborating with engineering and medical researchers across the University on several new technologies aimed at diagnosing tendon damage and aortic blockages.

The Center for Emerging and Innovative Sciences (CEIS) has been renewed by New York State as one of its Centers for Advanced Technology (CAT) and will receive $9.2 million in funding over the next 10 years.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has awarded $500,000 to the Center for Emerging and Innovative Sciences to lead the development of a national roadmap for photonics.

The Center for Emerging and Innovative Sciences (CEIS) will host its 14th Annual University Technology Showcase on the afternoon of April 10. The topic will be "Industry-University Collaborations and Economic Development: How can universities and companies work together to rebuild manufacturing in the US?"

The half-day event is filled with poster presentations by university researchers showcasing their research, and industry and government representatives outlining their needs and resources.
