The intern will construct a 3D atlas of the mouse brain, constructed using multiple biomedical and chemical imaging techniques. The atlas will aid visualization of the 3D distribution of brain metabolites and biomolecules.. The atlas will be a powerful research and teaching resource with its multi disciplinary approach to processing and visualizing data collected at […]

This project aims at developing an innovative technology through the utilization of fish waste as substrates for biosurfactant production. Through the proposed approach, fish waste will be recovered into fishery peptone and being used as a nutrient substrate for the synthesis of biosurfactant products with promising market values. The outcomes of this project will directly […]

As the third documented emergence of an animal-to-human coronavirus during the past two decades (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in 2002, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome in 2012), the current pandemic and near-certainty of future epidemics demands intensified surveillance and proactive screening. Definitive therapy for novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is likely at least half a year […]

Healthcare requires the early and accurate detection of disease indicators, be they small biomolecules or viruses, which is vital for successful treatments, preventative medicine and disease prevention. Improving turnaround times for early and accurate detection will improve patient care, enable the mass screening of large populations during outbreaks and effectively reduce the diagnostic burden. We […]

Development of a scalable, flow-through membrane-based processing platform for producing enriched fractions of bioactives from marine by-product extracts generated by bacterial fermentation. The proposed technology uses the conventional membrane filtration approach using pressure in tandem with applied voltage for increasing the value and application of the sustainably sourced, bioprocessed crude fish by-product protein extracts. Peptide […]

La mycotoxine désoxynivalénol (DON), chez le porc, entraine entre autre l’anorexie et l’affaiblissement de la réponse immunitaire. L’alimentation animale est mondialement contaminée par le DON. Le développement de stratégie antimycotoxine se bute au manque de compréhension de l’action du DON. L’hypothèse de la stimulation par le DON de l’axe neuroendocrinien Intestin-cerveau qui conduit à un […]

As Hyivy Health heads into 2021 with multiple strategic initatives, we have been seeking oversight in strategy discussions in all areas of marketing, content and market access discussions. We are developing content for our brand tone of voice, building community and digital marketing strategy, we are crafting messaging and positioning based on competition and market […]

Solid-state nanopores are tiny holes in thin membranes comparable to the size of individual biomolecules like protein or DNA. They are using as sensors to detect these molecules one at a time, and have the potential to revolutionize DNA sequencing, personalized medicine, point-of-care diagnostics, and next-generation information storage methods, but have not been able to […]

A major challenge facing farmers is obtaining the nitrogen needed to support plant growth. Inoculation of legume crops with rhizobia, which supply plants with the required nitrogen, is a green alternative to environmentally hazardous nitrogen-fertilizers. However, rhizobia vary in their effectiveness, and the success of inoculants depends on their ability to outcompete native and poorly-effective […]

This research proposal deals with characterization of thermophilic ?-Mannanase of Thermomyces lanuginosus and using this enzyme for hydrolysis of natural mannan to produce prebiotic MOS (Mannooligosaccharides). Alternative routes for the utilization of agricultural by-products are of interest because the economic value of these by-products as animal feed compounds is decreasing. MOS are non-digestible sugar oligomers […]

In this project, the interns will develop a new set of tools and techniques to provide new scientific insights into the detailed interactions that occur between drug and target molecules in the human body. Understanding of these interactions is critical to design better, more effective, and more precisely targeted drugs. The problem is that current […]

Numerous species of soil bacteria flourish in the rhizosphere of plants, which may grow in, on, or around plant tissues and stimulate plant growth by a plethora of mechanisms. These bacteria are collectively known as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Bacillus velezensis is a PGPR that promotes plant growth, enhances drought stress tolerance, and suppresses […]
