Characterization of the interface between biomaterials and proteins/cells in the presence of nanotopography

While most of the literature focuses directly on cellular response to biomaterials, cell attachment and behaviour is mediated by the proteins attached to the material. The composition and characteristics of such proteins is dependent on the substrates’ properties, both chemical, physical and mechanical. However, how surface characteristics control protein-material interactions still requires further investigation. The […]

Estimating Optimal Treatment Regimes from Electronic Health Records using Natural Language Processing for Unmeasured Confounding

n precision medicine, optimal dynamic treatment regimes (DTR) are a sequence of decision rules that individualize medical treatments. DTR estimation methods use observational data, such as electronic health records (EHR), which may lack variables that capture doctors’ rationale behind treatment assignment. However, while such variables, also referred as confounders, may not be directly recorded in […]

Discovery platform for aptamer-based luminescent sensors for protein detection

Diagnostics are critical to our healthcare infrastructure, with substantial impacts on patient care and public health policy. Proteins have been used as diagnostic markers for disease monitoring for nearly 200 years, however, current analytical methods require expensive equipment and expert technicians. This restricts the use of such methods to centralized laboratories where they process samples […]

Privacy preserving for genomic data analysis and sharing

Genomic data is a rich source of knowledge that can reveal important details about a person and their ancestry. However, accessing and sharing genetic datasets is essential for advancing research and enhancing healthcare outcomes. Allowing sharing, accessing, and analyzing the genomic data while preserving users’ privacy is challenging. Differential privacy (DP) is a promising lightweight […]

Modeling the Evolution of Embedded Star Clusters

Groups of stars (star clusters) that we see throughout the Universe form inside giant clouds of molecular gas inside galaxies. After a few million years, clusters can disperse surrounding gas through a combination of stellar winds, radiation, and supernovae, making them easier to observe (stellar feedback). While clusters are embedded inside molecular clouds, it is […]
