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…
Engineer develops underwater imaging system to investigate natural seeps
It’s estimated that roughly 160,000 tons of oil and gas naturally enter North American waters each year. These so-called “natural seeps” are hydrocarbons that come out of plant or animal fossils under the seafloor. Depending on where they are, the bubbles…
Engineering team receives $3M to develop improved blast-resistant curtain walls
A Mizzou Engineering team is investigating ways to keep large glass exteriors from shattering.
Engineer receives $2.3 million grant to investigate new disease
Professor Shinghua Ding has received a five-year, $2.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to investigate a previously unknown disease.
$2.6 million grant to help establish online clinical engineering program
Mizzou Engineers have received funding to develop and implement one of the first online certificate programs in the U.S. for clinical engineering.
Researcher investigating new types of blast-resistant glass
Professor Hani Salim is looking into innovative new ways to keep glass from shattering in the event of a blast.
NSF Project to Advance Edge Computing
Edge computing has the potential to make our computers and devices run smarter and faster. Right now, though, the technology is in its infancy and not ready for prime time.
Genome Sequences Could Be Key to COVID-19
The secret to surviving COVID-19 could be locked in our DNA. Researchers are analyzing genome sequences to find clues about why some people are more susceptible to the virus. Right now, doing that work comes with a hefty price tag. But Praveen Rao is developing a way for more scientists to unlock that information for free.
