Research is the engine behind innovation, commercialization and economic growth across nearly every industry. At ����Ӱ��, that innovation doesn’t stop in the lab; it goes to work. In this episode, we explore how a single research idea can become a commercial product with real regional and global impact.

Srinivas Janaswamy, associate professor in ����Ӱ��’s Department of Dairy and Food Science, has been named to the Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists List for 2025.

Mount Rushmore. The Badlands. Bison. Three things that come to mind when thinking of South Dakota scenery. Of the 400,000 bison that currently live in North America, around 10% — nearly 40,000 — roam the state’s landscape. It makes sense then that the epicenter of bison research would also be here, where it can have the biggest impact.

A collaborative project between ����Ӱ��’s College of Nursing and College of Natural Sciences is improving medical imaging accuracy through the study of germanium, a chemical element found in the Earth's crust.
