The team is developing an automated, text-based platform with customizable persona-agents to simulate social interactions, enabling research on how conversations influence beliefs, disinformation, and radicalization in chat-based environments.
This initiative aims to transform the hospital waiting room experience by providing patients with a curated playlist of stories, offering comfort and connection during a typically isolating and stressful time. The project will develop a user-friendly digital platform to deliver these stories and potentially allow patients to contribute their own, with plans for wider implementation across hospitals.
This project seeks to develop scalable, 1,000-channel CAPCAS microbioreactor systems to accelerate AI/ML-driven advancements in cell-culture control for biologically produced pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals. The outcome will enable more efficient cell-line identification, media optimization, and bioreactor control, ultimately transforming the BioPharma industry by improving automation and scaling of cell-culture studies.
This technology will use the bacterial hydrophilin DtpA to enhance the stability and viability of probiotics and enzymes under extreme conditions, improving strain diversity, bacterial recovery, and enzyme protection for microbiome-based therapeutics.
This proposal aims to develop poly(thioketal thiourethane) (PTKTUR) elastomers for surgical mesh that supports tissue regeneration and degrades in response to cell-secreted reactive oxygen species, with tunable mechanical properties matching patient biology.
SANDI supports neurodiverse individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, in achieving driving independence by addressing barriers like anxiety and sensory overload through structured, repetitive learning. This innovative simulator enhances confidence, provides greater accessibility to driving skills, and promotes long-term social and economic inclusion.
The team is developing the Intrinsic Glove, a semi-rigid, flexible orthosis designed to improve hand trauma management by promoting safe positioning, early motion, and compression. This innovative glove enhances patient care and provider efficiency by enabling quick, effective positioning and reducing setup time significantly.
