Receptor proteins are important for therapeutics, medicines, diagnostics and biomanufacturing. Generating new proteins is incredibly difficult however machine learning techniques have been developed to assist in evolving proteins. Using these techniques, I plan to create receptor mimics that are smaller and have improved properties. These will benefit many industries such as therapeutics, medicines, diagnostics and […]

Artificial intelligence promises to dramatically accelerate preclinical biomedical research, yet ensuring it provides accurate and relevant information remains a challenge. Current approaches may fabricate references and often lack the context needed to fully address scientific questions. Consequently, AI has not been widely adopted for applications such as hit selection from biological screens or experiment design. […]

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been utilized as a space lubricant due to its suitability for vacuum environments. While MoS2 lubricants were adequate for early spacecraft, the increasing duration of missions has heightened the demands on these lubricants, necessitating ultrahigh wear lives extending from months to decades. To overcome these limitations, MoS2 has been co-deposited with […]

Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects 20% of the population, with females twice as likely to develop it. Cognitive symptoms like negative cognitive bias (NCB) are resistant to treatment and understudied. Pilot data suggest sex differences in hippocampal activation and functional connectivity between brain regions in NCB. This is significant, as altered brain connectivity affects therapeutic […]

Viruses impact almost every aspect of human life, such as in carbon availability oceans impacting climate, food security in agriculture, and importantly in health. Humans are colonized by both benign and disease-causing viruses. Retroviruses, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), are a class of viruses that use reverse transcriptase (RT) to convert RNA-based genomes to […]

SmartSimple is experiencing tremendous growth and need to ensure our business operations can keep up with the demands on the organization. Given our multi-location operations and the collaborative nature of our workforce, we need to implement well-organized and strong operation processes to sustain the long term growth of the organization. During the internship, we will […]

The proposed research project focuses on investigating the growing problem of motor vehicle noise in urban environments, particularly how it affects residents’ physical and mental health, overall well-being, and willingness to live in densely populated areas. Through a combination of analysis methods involving interviews and fieldwork observations, the project will explore how residents experience and […]

Remotely monitoring the heart is crucial for reducing the hospital readmission rate of heart failure (HF) patients. However, for aging populations with physical and cognitive limitations, existing monitoring techniques such as self-management or CardioMEMS remain demanding or invasive. There is a growing need for easy-to-use and non-invasive remote monitoring. Ballistocardiograph (BCG) measures the mechanical vibration […]

The project relates to the fabrication of polymeric devices capable of mimicking that of live human tissue under x-ray computed tomographic (CT) imaging. These devices must be fabricated in such a way that specific material properties are controlled to thereby precisely mimic the desired tissue. The work following this will benefit the partner organization as […]
