Penn State CTSI announces seven Bridges to Translation pilot funding recipients

Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute is helping to generate innovative health research ideas and promote collaboration through the awarding of pilot grants in its "Bridges to Translation" program.

Protein-based nano-‘computer’ evolves in ability to influence cell behavior

The first protein-based nano-computing agent that functions as a circuit has been created by Penn State researchers.

Penn State researchers to explore using quantum computers to design new drugs

The time it takes medicines to move from discovery to approved use for patients can take decades and cost billions of dollars. Now, a $1.2 million National Science Foundation grant will help a team of Penn State researchers study the use of quantum computer-based artificial intelligence (AI) to see if quantum computers can bring drugs to patients faster and cheaper.

Penn State scientists developing mutation-proof COVID vaccine

Each year, doctors urge people to get a flu shot because the virus changes and requires a new vaccine. A similar pattern seems to be appearing for COVID every time a new variant is discovered.

Penn State researchers engineer protein that could be used to develop 1-dose covid vaccine

Despite receiving one of the three covid-19 vaccines available in the U.S., many Americans continue to become infected with the virus.

Newly engineered protein could be used to develop adaptation-proof COVID vaccine

A vaccine design approach that could protect against new variants of SARS-CoV-2 — the virus that causes COVID-19 — but also potentially protects against other coronaviruses is one step closer to reality as a result of research at Penn State College of Medicine.

Nanoscale ‘computer’ controls function of protein, influences cell behavior

The creation of nanoscale computers for use in precision health care has long been a dream of many scientists and health care providers. Now, for the first time, researchers at Penn State have produced a nanocomputing agent that can control the function of a particular protein that is involved in cell movement and cancer metastasis.

Researchers mobilize to study COVID-19 from multiple angles

Penn State funds 17 research proposals, ranging from vaccine development to improved predictive modeling, with more to come.

Penn State funds first round of COVID-19 research proposals

One week after launching a rapid-fire call for proposals, awards are granted to six projects that address the global pandemic, with more to follow

Fourteen Penn State faculty recognized with lifetime honor

Fourteen Penn State faculty members in areas ranging from physics and engineering to entomology and plant science have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society. A lifetime honor bestowed upon members by their peers, a total of 443 individuals are being recognized for their extraordinary achievements in advancing science.
