Understanding Charged Species Transport in Bacterial Biofilms via Modelling, Experiments and Simulations

None

It is estimated that worldwide, there are 100,000 people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), a genetic-disease which reduces lung function and has historically led to significantly decreased healthspans. Chronic lung infections of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in pwCF are tied with worse health outcomes, and often present as biofilms, a mode of bacterial life which can confer antibiotic […]

Applied Research and Classroom-Based Innovation

Virtual

Teaching practice, just as any other scholarly activity, is an area about which you can form questions and hypotheses, gather data, and iterate based on the results of your study. Many faculty at Duke engage in applied educational research or scholarship of teaching and learning in which they routinely explore questions about teaching and/or student […]

Machine Learning for Precise Diagnostics and Therapeutics

None

Drug discoveries have been instrumental in improving global health over the last century, but the median drug now takes about 10 years to bring to market and costs over a billion dollars to develop. The work in our lab aims to expedite the development of precise diagnostics and therapeutics by applying machine learning. In this […]
