Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide. The incidence of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery, a serious complication that affects vision and requires additional treatment, is ~30%. In this study, we will investigate differences in PCO, presence of fibronectin, and ciliary ring distortion between lenses in eyes obtained from […]

Colorectal cancer remains within the three most lethal cancers, largely due to the inevitable development of resistance to chemotherapy. Recent breakthroughs demonstrate that cancer immunotherapy can be highly effective in patients with skin cancer using T cells from the human immune system to fight off cancer. Our laboratory has found that T cells can recognize […]

Colorectal cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide, awaits new treatments due to high resistance of metastases toward chemotherapy. Similarly to infection, cancer cells can be recognized as foreign by T cells from the immune system because they express mutated proteins. Actually, T cells can be isolated from tumors, expanded in vitro and infused to […]

Cloud hosting environments include large scale distributed storage systems. With the advent of Big Data, especially newer biomedical and biometrics data, collected from wearable monitoring devices, there is a high need for Cloud-based solutions for large scale storage and high bandwidth on-the-fly data analysis for such data. A key problem for IT companies that collect […]

“Much of life is online, so online security is critical. While many aspects of security are infrastructural, users must make key decisions. In particular, users must decide which websites to trust and which to avoid. How can users know if a website is truly what it claims to be? This is a pivotal issue. When […]

Users must decide which websites to trust and which to avoid. How can users know if a website is truly what it claims to be? This is a pivotal issue. When attackers can convince users to trust their sites, though phishing or other strategies, user security and privacy are easily compromised, malware can be downloaded, […]

“Functional foods and cosmetics contain physiologically active compounds. However, many active ingredients are susceptible to degradation and/or are not efficiently absorbed by the body. It is increasingly recognized that the composition and physical structures of the products, and interactions between ingredients in the matrix can impact the stability and availability of active ingredients. Encapsulation is […]

While torque is an important parameter in automotive performance, there are currently very few effective methods to monitor it in vehicles. The aim of this project is to develop a low-cost solution for real time engine torque monitoring. An autonomous sensor module will be developed and mounted to the flexplate connecting the engine and the […]

In recent years monitoring and protection of food and water resources became a priority of governments worldwide. Bio-hazards are potential threat for these resources thus need to be addressed both in industry and in academia. Therefore, developing an accurate, fast and cost effective technique for detection of pathogenic strains called for increased demand on the […]
