Penn State purchased more than 3 million masks and enough hand sanitizer to fill an average-sized backyard pool.

An international team led by David Hughes, founder of Penn State’s PlantVillage project, has been named among 15 milestone winners of the latest round of the XPRIZE and Musk Foundation’s Carbon Removal Competition.

An inhalable "aerogel" loaded with DNA that encodes for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein successfully induces an immune response against COVID-19 in the lungs of mice, according to new research conducted at Penn State. The team said its aerogel could be used to create an inhalable vaccine that blocks SARS-CoV-2 transmission by preventing the virus from establishing an infection in the lungs.

A Penn State-led team of researchers developed a method for delivering gene-editing tools into stem cells that would allow for more long-term and efficient study of mutations. Their research could enable more comprehensive studies of neurological and cardiovascular diseases without requiring invasive biopsies from patients.
