A team of Penn State-led researchers received a $1.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to help fund a project to develop a machine learning system for early Alzheimer’s disease detection.
Data from Penn State researchers COVID-19 wastewater monitoring program in Centre County is now available on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) website.
The new design "could be used not just for SARS-CoV-2 and other related viruses, but also for other clinically important pathogenic viruses."
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. The scientists used areas of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that are less susceptible to mutation to engineer proteins called immunogens, which can elicit an immune response.
Despite receiving one of the three covid-19 vaccines available in the U.S., many Americans continue to become infected with the virus. Penn State researchers hope recently engineered proteins could put an end to that cycle. The proteins, called immunogens, could protect people from new covid-19 variants — and other coronaviruses,
