Researcher continues work to decode genome sequences
In the future, hospitals and clinics may be able to better manage diseases by pinpointing exactly how an individual’s body will respond to treatment. But first, they need a fast, efficient and secure way to analyze DNA, or human genome sequences. Enter Praveen Rao, an associate professor with joint appointments in Health Management & Informatics and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. Rao has spent the past two years developing a software system for others to analyze and compare genomes more easily. Now, he has a two-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to expand upon that…

Mizzou Engineering team devises novel way to non-invasively monitor heart problems
In the future, people with heart problems may be able to monitor their condition from home, ensuring they are taking the appropriate type and amount of medicine. That’s because a Mizzou Engineering research team has devised a way to non-invasively assess whether a person’s heart is in balance with the circulatory system. The work earned PhD student Mohamed Zaid the first-place award in the engineering and technology category at MU’s 38th annual Research and Creative Activities Forum held earlier this month. In addition to a monetary prize, the competition gives graduate students the opportunity to share their work…
