Physicists Zohar Nussinov and Alexander Seidel, both in Arts & Sciences, received a $224,287 award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to work on imaging goggles for fluorescence-guided surgery.

Chenyang Lu at the McKelvey School of Engineering is evaluating the potential use of artificial intelligence to benefit patients’ health — and doctors’ well-being.

Spongy electrodes developed in the lab of Chuan Wang at the McKelvey School of Engineering will help map the uterus to better understand preterm birth.

Joshua Yuan at the McKelvey School of Engineering and collaborators have cracked a chemical code that will take carbon fiber to the next level.

Researchers in Jianmin Cui’s lab at the McKelvey School of Engineering have looked at drug interactions and mechanisms behind a group of proteins to potentially develop a new strategy to treat epilepsy.

Scott VanBommel, a senior scientist in earth and planetary sciences in Arts & Sciences, received $284,827 in funding from NASA.

The American Psychological Foundation has awarded its Alexander Gralnick Research Investigator Prize to Deanna Barch, professor in Arts & Sciences and at the School of Medicine.

Peng Bai at the McKelvey School of Engineering has received a $355,630 grant from the National Science Foundation to study safer batteries.

A study in Molecular Cell led by chemist Gary Patti in Arts & Sciences shows that cancer cells don’t want to waste glucose, they just consume it too quickly. The discovery was made possible with metabolomics, which allowed Patti and his team to observe the speed at which small molecules move through cells.

Erik Henriksen, associate professor of physics in Arts & Sciences, received a three-year $599,784 grant from the Office of Naval Research for his research project on topological qubits.
