Agricultural health and safety center celebrates 30 years of impact and collaboration
The center has held continuous funding from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, a branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, throughout its 30 years of work. After initial funding in 1991, they have successfully competed for and been awarded additional funding six times, most recently in 2022. The center’s research support to date is more than $28.5 million dollars, with an additional $7.8 million in the next five years.
CSU chemists share in $20 million award for NSF Center for Computer-Assisted Synthesis
Rob Paton in the Department of Chemistry helped establish the center in 2018. His work is in developing new computational approaches that enable data science to be applied to chemical reaction discovery and optimization.
CSU researchers funded by DARPA to demystify neural networks, improve cybersecurity
CSU computer scientists and mathematicians are seeking to bring mathematics-based clarity to how artificial neural networks function, and how they can be better protected against security threats.
UQ-Bio introduces undergraduates to quantitative biology
The curriculum, developed by Luis Aguilera and a team of colleagues, uses pandemic-inspired teaching methods to introduce quantitative biology concepts and techniques to young scientists.
CSU offers new clues to how plants retain healthy genomes, avoid mitochondrial disease
A new study sheds light on how plants, however rarely, experience mutations in their mitochondrial genomes. Unlike humans, plants are able to quickly fix these mutations and not pass them on to their progeny.
CSU startup company Numerica ensures homeland security in air, missile and space industries
Former math professor Aubrey Poore started Numerica at CSU in 1996. The company is now a global leader in the defense industry.
Biochemists use enzymes to change how brain cells communicate with each other
A new study demonstrates the possibility of changing the identity of synapses between neurons through enzymatic means, with larger implications for studying diseases of the brain.
Chemists design chemical probe for detecting minute temperature shifts in the body
The Zadrozny Lab designs molecules that allow magnetic resonance imaging to do things that it currently can't do.
Associate mathematics professor awarded Leverhulme Visiting Professorship
Patel's theory of Generalized Persistent Diagrams helped solve many of the long-standing open problems in the field of persistent homology, and it aided him in being named a Leverhulme Visiting Professor.
