Urgent treatment for COVID-19
9/22/20
The human immune system has a capacity to fight off numerous infections, and there are worldwide efforts to combat COVID-19 through vaccine development. The Park lab, in collaboration with other labs at UB, is developing drugs to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 and treat individuals with severe COVID-19 infection.
Making Safer Masks
9/22/20
SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses spread via droplets and short-range aerosols generated when infected people talk, exhale, cough, or sneeze. Face masks are effective in limiting transmission. However, most medical-grade face masks are not self-sterilized or reusable. Their widespread use consumes tremendous resources and generates a corresponding amount of waste.
Inhibition Strategies to Reduce Coronavirus Entry Into Host
9/21/20
The Neelamegham lab is developing molecular strategies to inhibit SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Regenerative Bone Therapy - Innovation Hub
1/21/20
As part of the Innovation Hub initiative, Distinguished Professor and Chair, Mark Swihart is joining Rosemary Dziak, Professor in the Department of Oral Biology, School of Dental Medicine in a project aimed at improving regenerative bone therapy.
Better Batteries - Innovation Hub
1/21/20
As part of the Innovation Hub initiative, Distinguished Professor and Chair Mark Swihart and PhD student Adam Raszewski are leading a project to create better batteries.
MEMONET: Understanding memory in neuronal networks through brain-inspired artificial intelligence
11/26/19
Rudiyanto Gunawan, an associate professor of chemical and biological engineering, is the lead PI of a recent National Science Foundation award to establish an Institute for Data-Intensive Research in Science and Engineering (DIRSE).
Assistant Professor Elina Kyriakidou Awarded $1.2 Million Grant from U.S. DOE-NREL
3/18/19
Assistant Professsor Elina Kyriakidou has been awarded a $1.2 million grant from U.S. DOE-NREL for low temperature CH₄ conversion by developing a novel aftertreatment system for future natural gas vehicles using palladium-based catalysts.
Tanks of Algae May Herald Future of Carbon Capture Tech
9/12/19
Haiqing Lin, associate professor of chemical and biological engineering, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, is helping Helios-NRG develop efficient, long-lasting membranes for inexpensively separating algae and water.
Molecular Modeling of Polymer Membranes for Wastewater Cleanup
9/10/19
There is broad interest in developing membrane systems for handling wastewater from a diverse array of sources (e.g., household wastewater, drainfields). The ideal membrane permits pure water to permeate through and rejects contaminants. The permeated water is then reused, reducing the impact of the wastewater on the environment.
DOE Project to Develop Carbon Capture Membranes
9/10/19
The goal of this project is to develop advanced membrane materials for CO/N separation, which can be adapted to membrane processes for CO capture from fossil fuel-fired power plants, cement plants, steel plants and other industrial facilities.
