Oxford, OH and Cleveland, OH – January 15, 2025 - Miami University and Cleveland Clinic are partnering to advance education in quantum computing and elevate Ohio’s global position in this transformative field. Through an innovative partnership, Ohio’s first specialized degree programs and research experiences in quantum computing will be established. This initiative also will cultivate scientific and entrepreneurial talent to develop companies, elevate businesses, and advance organizations that leverage quantum computing.
Insilico Medicine (“Insilico”), a clinical stage generative artificial intelligence (AI)-driven biotechnology company has recently announced the breakthrough study achieved in collaboration with a well-known university in Hong Kong. Targeting endometriosis, a condition that affects more than 190 million women worldwide, the researchers used Insilico’s PandaOmics, the artificial intelligence-driven platform, to identify two novel therapeutic targets and a FDA approved drug as a potential repurposed treatment option. The findings were published in December 2024 in Advanced Science(IF=15.1).
An international research team led by the University of Konstanz and Oxford Brookes University concludes that gentle touch is not only good for mental health, but also for the evolution of cooperation.
Estimating global precipitation is vital for managing water-related disasters, yet it is often challenging due to sparse rain gauge data in certain areas. To improve these predictions, Assistant Professor Yuka Muto and Professor Shunji Kotsuki, a research duo from Chiba University, developed a new tool using the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter technique for rain gauge observations and reanalysis precipitation. Their method offers promising results for improving disaster management and sustainable water supply strategies.
Diagnosing simultaneous infections of multiple respiratory viruses is challenging. Researchers from Korea have now addressed this issue by developing a TwinDemic Detection (TDD) system, a point-of-care diagnostic tool that leverages a novel, non-enzymatic signal amplification method. By testing its performance using human nasopharyngeal samples, TDD was shown to detect SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus simultaneously, highlighting its potential application in rapid on-site testing for a wider range of viruses.
