Osteoarthritis therapy study advances with $17 million from ARPA-H
The funding will support a WashU Medicine collaboration with CRISPR Therapeutics and SynGenix, a WashU startup, to move a single-injection treatment to reverse joint damage into clinical trials.
In the clouds
Under a new grant from the NSF, a WashU team will use AI and statistics to study the impact of aerosols on marine low clouds. That knowledge can help communities protect health and prepare for extreme weather.
New sensor detects, classifies freely flowing particles without labels
WashU McKelvey Engineering’s Lan Yang and her team have developed a new sensing technique to detect nanoparticles.
New building blocks expand functions of photonic chips
McKelvey Engineering researchers Sang-Hoon Bae and Lan Yang collaborated to establish a framework for heterogeneous integrated photonic chips, enabling multiple functions on a single chip with greater freedom to combine materials and design devices.
WashU study could help manage air quality near power plants
WashU McKelvey Engineering’s Chi Li received a grant from NASA to fine-tune a tool that will be used to understand how weather and atmospheric conditions evolve over time.
What a locust can teach us about how neuromodulators alter odor processing
Researchers at WashU McKelvey Engineering studied how neuromodulators alter odor processing in locusts.
WashU-led team wins $4M DARPA grant to improve fuel injector design
Research led by WashU McKelvey Engineering’s James Friend aims to crack the code of atomization for future aircraft engines.
Can brain signals help turn spinal stimulation on only when it’s needed?
Biomedical engineer Ismael Seáñez along with collaborators from WashU Medicine will study the effects of delivering transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation only when the person intends to move, thanks to a three-year $400,000 grant from the Craig S. Neilsen Foundation.
How light can reveal the hidden orientation of a single molecule
Recent work from researchers in the lab of Matthew Lew at WashU McKelvey Engineering found that polarized light patterns can improve how precisely microscopes measure the orientation of single molecules.
WashU research finds gaps in Google AI Overview citations, claims
With the advent of Google AI Overviews, Google has unprecedented editorial control over what users read and know, according to Jacob Montgomery, a WashU Arts & Sciences political scientist.
