Iain Clark selected as Innovation Investigator by Arc Institute

Iain Clark selected as Innovation Investigator by Arc Institute

Professor Iain Clark was named an Innovation Investigator by the Arc Institute, a scientific research organization pioneering new models for scientific discovery and translation. As a member of the inaugural Innovation Investigators program, Clark will receive $1 million over five years to pursue “curiosity-driven, ambitious research.”

Conboy Lab changes the measurement of biological age

Conboy Lab changes the measurement of biological age

Research from Professor Irina Conboy’s lab is on the cover of the journal “Aging” this week, highlighting their exciting new research in the measurement of biological age. Their work shows that commonly-used Elastic Net DNA methylation clocks have low accuracy, and present an alternative using noise-detecting cytosines, measuring the pressure of aging and disease on an organism. BioE PhD student Xiaoyue Mei and undergraduate alumnus Joshua Blanchard are first authors.

Nanomaterials in 3D Functional Mesosystems: From Neural Interfaces to Environmental Monitors

Complex, three dimensional (3D) micro/nanostructures in biology provide sophisticated, essential functions in even the most basic forms of life. Compelling opportunities exist for analogous 3D structures in man-made devices, but existing design options are highly constrained. Recent advances in mechanical engineering and materials science provide broad access to diverse, highly [...]
