Modernizing Vaccine Research
PhD student Andrew Hedermanand Professor Margie Ackerman are co-authors of " Leveraging deep learning to improve vaccine design " published in Trends in Immunology. "Despite the nascent stage of deep learning applications in immunological studies, there is ample opportunity to utilize this new technology to address the most challenging and burdensome infectious diseases confronting global populations," states the study.
Real-Time pH Monitoring
PhD students Junhu Zhou, Billy Jin,and Jiyoon Park Th'19,alum Yuan Nie Th'20,andProfessor John Zhang are co-athors on " Dual fluorescent hollow silica nanofibers for in situ pH monitoring using an optical fiber ," published in Nanoscale Advances . "The sensor exhibits exceptional accuracy, stability, and simplicity, making it ideal for detecting pH levels in both environmental and biological samples," says Junhu.
