Middlebury Welcomes 33 New Faculty - Middlebury College News and Events

Scott M. Coyle, a University of WisconsinMadison assistant professor of biochemistry, has been named a 2020 Packard Foundation Fellow in Science and Engineering.

Coyle, whose research focuses on understanding and engineering microscale molecular and cellular machines, is one of 20 early career scientists from across the United States to be awarded this years Packard Fellowship. The fellowship provides $875,000 in flexible funding over five years.

Scott Coyles research could have could have far-reaching applications, from expanding the scope and utility of cell-based therapies deployed inside the human body to fight human disease to developing smart micro-technologies that could scavenge damaged environmental sites to be used for bioremediation.

Coyles project will develop models for how the structure and behavior of single cells which he likens to microscopic robots that move through, interact with, and respond to their environment are encoded and programmed by their smaller components: themotors, filaments, signaling molecules, and so on that that are used to build and control the physical machinery of the cell. His goal is to reveal strategies for building and organizing molecules into complex machines that scientists can one day use to engineer new cell behaviors.

What Coyle learns could have far-reaching applications, from expanding the scope and utility of cell-based therapies deployed inside the human body to fight human disease to developing smart micro-technologies that could scavenge damaged environmental sites to be used for bioremediation. The work could even lead to potential computing systems powered by biochemistry instead of electricity.

To do this we explore a broad range of cellular systems, says Coyle, from human cells that crawl around your body to single celled protozoans that can jump, forage, and hunt for prey like tiny animals. Despite how different these cells appear, they are all built from a similar toolbox of molecular components, but ones which are deployed in different ways not so unlike how you can make a whole bunch of different electronic devices out of resistors, capacitors and transistors.

Coyle was drawn to apply for the fellowship in part because of its support of collaborative and creative approaches to research. The Packard Fellowships flexible funding allows scientists the freedom to pursue research in innovative ways. In Coyles case, this flexibility provides the resources for his lab to obtain and work with materials and biological systems, such as protozoan cells, which may otherwise be difficult to secure with traditional funding streams.

Dr. Coyle is an extraordinary young scientist with a rich array of academic and industry research experiences, says Brian Fox, associate vice chancellor for research policy and integrityand biochemistry department chair. He is uniquely poised to integrate his training and break new ground with an exciting research program that will redefine how we understand the systems biology of cell behavior.

For Coyle, the fellowship is about a big-picture research vision. Collaboration and innovation will drive Coyles project, as he works with researchers across disciplines at UWMadison, including computer science for technologies in machine vision and deep learning as applied to cell biology and limnology to study Madisons lakes, a source of myriad understudied protozoan cells.

We are entering an era in which the extraordinary biology of living systems will provide us a foundation upon which to build an exciting new class of molecular technologies, says Coyle. Getting to interact with physicists, ecologists and engineers will provide invaluable new perspectives and help me approach my own research questions from a fresh and inspired point of view.

Coyle is UWMadisons 16th Packard Fellowship winner, chosen from among 100 nominees from 50 universities across the country by an advisory panelof distinguished scientists and engineers.

In volleyball, the libero jersey is not something one just gets. It takes years of hard work and practice to get to this top defensive position.

The same is true for biochemistry majors. They have to spend two years in challenging weed out classes to prove that they belong in their major.

Julia Talarico has proven herself in both these areas as a senior biochemistry major and libero on the Gonzaga volleyball team.

However, it hasnt been an easy road to get to where she is now. Talarico has had to earn her way up to the top.

The first year was a figure it out year for both of us, said Diane Nelson, the head coach of the volleyball team. From me to her it was about who are you. And from her to the program it was about how does she fit into this program.

Freshmen tend to have a challenging first year and Id say she did. She had to learn a ton. I could tell a lot of it had to do with her confidence. We really spent that freshman summer and sophomore year teaching her how to talk to herself positively and evaluate her day to day work in a way that is process oriented not outcome oriented. She started to develop those skills that allowed her to be freer and freer every day.

Talarico found her passion for volleyball at a young age and that passion only grew once she got to GU.

She began playing volleyball when she was 10 in her hometown Chandler, Arizona and began playing club volleyball at 11.

GU was a perfect fit for Talarico both academically and athletically.

I got a phone meeting with Gonzaga, with Diane actually who was an assistant coach at the time, and they said they wanted to get a better look at me and invited me to go to their camp where all the other recruits are too, Talarico said.

She went on to say that at the time she wasnt sure if shed make the team because there were eight other people up for the open positions.

She came to campus on a visit, and I remember it very clearly, she wanted to see a match and that was kind of the last piece in that being the right fit for her, Nelson said. I remember after that match she came up to me and I was thinking she was going to say This isnt the right place to me. But, she came up to me and said I think I really want to be a Zag.

Over the last few years Talarico has grown immensely. She went form not seeing very much court time her freshman year to being one of the most important players on the court.

Junior year I think for Julia was the turning point for her," Nelson said. "We needed a change on the court and each opportunity she got she became more impactful on the court, she started to become the reason the game would change."

Talarico sees putting on the libero jersey as one of the highlights of her college career.

When I first put on the libero jersey it was right in the middle of a game, so I was excited, Talarico said. Its something you are not going to get just by showing up.

Her major is the same way. Advancing within the biochemistry major is not easy, but Talaricos passion for science has only grown stronger over the past three years.

Ever since I was in elementary school, Ive always loved the idea of science, Talarico said. Knowing that you can manipulate molecules and that theyre basically everywhere we live theyre in our bodies, in our world in our air thinking about how these little molecules control our everyday life is really interesting to me.

Finding the balance between volleyball and biochemistry has been a challenge but one that Talarico was ready and willing to take on.

With biochemistry it has nothing to do with athletics or working out, Talarico said. I think I had to start from scratch in learning about the major."

I think its kind of cool that Im the only athlete and I can make so many relationships with normal students. Some students didnt even know I was an athlete until a year or two in. They ask how I balance that and volleyball and I just say, I dont know I dont really have a choice; I just do it, said Talarico.

Over the past two semesters she has had the opportunity to be a teachers assistant for organic chemistry. She is also working on research and her thesis on top of playing volleyball.

Knowing that I can still have science be a part of my life while also still playing volleyball showed my professors that Im not just going through the motions with science I really want to apply myself and make it work with both things being a student and an athlete, Talarico said.

Nelson said Talarico is really good at balancing school and volleyball. The work Talarico puts in on court and in the classroom is clear. She wouldnt have the libero jersey if it wasn't.

She earned the jersey," Nelson said. "She rose to the top of that crew. She felt like it was her turn but she still had to separate herself. We had five defensive specialists in our gym last year and she had to become number one in order to get the jersey.

Talarico is ready to take on an even bigger role this year as the libero and is excited to lead the team and help her teammates develop like she has over the past three years.

I really couldnt be where I am today without everyone in the volleyball community especially my coaches and teammates, Talarico said. They have pushed me so much to be the player I am today. Sure, we all have accomplishments and I have my personal accomplishments, but I couldnt have done that without them pushing me every single day in practice. Its definitely been a team effort to get to where I am today.

Meyers is excited to welcome these new researchers. She said, Not only are UT undergrads bright and hardworking, but they bring fresh perspectives and a passion for making a difference in the world. Students in the UT COVID-19 Modeling Consortium have conducted analyses that have helped the city of Austin and the world to understand and more safely navigate this unprecedented threat.

Becky Kester, project manager at the consortium added that, UT students skills, curiosity, and drive contribute in many ways be it working on the way COVID-19 and influenza might interact or working on reports about limiting the transmission of diseases.

Kester said while she knew UT undergraduates were eager to participate and get involved, she was still pleasantly surprised by this overwhelmingly enthusiastic response. This call will provide an unparalleled new opportunity for countless students looking to do impactful work remotely much like it did with Ingle who started this past summer and will be continuing to volunteer her time there.

For her first project at the consortium, Ingle leveraged modeling to better allocate resources for the city of Austin. People who test positive for COVID-19 are highly advised to self isolate for the duration of their infectious period. However, not everybody has the privilege of a safe place to stay. In response to this, the city of Austin wanted to provide isolation rooms to aid its homeless population. They reached out to the UT COVID research consortium for an estimate on how many rooms they should book and Ingle was tasked with projecting this number.

Her work leverages a Meyers labs COVID-19 model which uses real-time data and statistical probability to project the number of people in Austin who would contract the virus. In collaboration with the city of Austin, public health, and the Dell Medical school, Ingle was able to determine what proportion of people experiencing homelessness would be tested and how many of those would test positive. With these parameters, they were then able to estimate the total number of individuals who would need an isolation room at any given time.

Ultimately, our projections helped the city of Austin finalize lease agreements for isolation facilities, said Ingle. It was incredibly inspiring to see exactly how scientific research can shape public health outcomes in a positive way.

Ingle said she was most drawn to this project because of her past experience at the clinic.

I have a background working with people experiencing homelessness in a clinical setting and this particular project just stood out as a way for me to remain engaged in helping that population from a public policy angle and being able to help shape public policies that would most benefit them.

UT Students Rise to the Occasion of Pandemic Research - UT News - UT News | The University of Texas at Austin

Every person making advances to cure and treat COVID-19 was once in a classroom. Their teachers ... [+] inspired and guided them on their journey.

It was Steve Lantos. 10th grade chemistry.High school biology, Mrs. DeSmet.Probably more than anyone, it was my high-school chemistry teacher, Ms. Thornburg. For me, it was biochemistry.That was my favorite subject.Rohini was her name. My first science teacher in high school, Mr. Alicia.He was the one who inspired me to pursue infectious disease.I would credit who I am today to him. He continues to inspire me even today. Dr. Melvyn Mosher, a funny man who looked like Albert Einstein and was a guest chemistry teacher at my high school.

I spoke to six people on the frontlines of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. I wanted to know who set them on their path to do this lifesaving work. Each one, leading epidemiologists and researchers, told me about a high school science teacher who changed the course of their life. Sometimes, it was how they taught the subject matter. Sometimes, it was that these teachers believed in them when others didnt. Most often, it was both. But one thing was clear: If it werent for these STEM teachers, the doctors and researchers keeping us safe today wouldnt be doing this work. As much as we all are indebted to the frontline scientists, doctors, and researchers keeping us healthy and safe, they are indebted to the teachers who set them on their path. Here are their stories.

Nahid Bhadelia is Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases at BU School of Medicine and the Medical Director, Special Pathogens Unit, at Boston Medical Center. Krutika Kuppalli is Assistant Professor, Division of Infectious Diseases, Medical University of South Carolina and was the medical lead for an Alternate Care Site for San Franciscos COVID-19 response. Syra Madad is the Senior Director of the System-wide Special Pathogens Program at NYC Health + Hospitals and is helping oversee New York Citys COVID response; she was also on the breakout Netflix show Pandemic (and shared an inspirational talk at 100Kin10s Summit in April 2020). Gary Krishnan, a senior research fellow at the pharmaceutical giant, Lilly, is leading a team working on a cutting-edge treatment for COVID-19. Raga Krishnakumar is a researcher at Sandia National Labs, working at the intersection of bioscience and national security, looking at a therapeutic molecule that can reduce or alleviate COVID-19 symptoms.And Janelle Sabos is the Global Head of COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibody Clinical Development and Delivery, also at Lilly.

Though the details of their experiences differed some were immigrants, some were born here; some moved often during their childhood, some grew up in close-knit communities; some were on the coast, others in small towns, one was in India their teachers were more alike than different.

Learning was an adventure

Each of them described teachers who made learning exciting and interactive. Raga described a biology teacher who made everything feel exciting and like some sort of adventure we were having. Mrs. DeSmet would paint scenarios youre alone in the woods, and its cold, and you need heat. There are different kinds of wood. What would you do? Nahid described a big focus on experimentation and discovery of science and experimentation in the classroom. Syra talked about how Mr. Alicia provided hands-on experiences. Gary described how his teacher, Ms. Rohini, made it seem like biochemistry was the secret of life. She spoke with such clarity and love about biochemistry that she made her students believe in it. And Janelle talked about how Dr. Mosher would always do experiments you could see, so you could understand the equations you were writing. Ragas voice quickened as she remembered: If this is biology, I am totally sold!I still have that feeling, when I do research, that Im on an adventure.

Biochemistry was the secret of life. - Gary Krishnan, a senior research fellow at the ... [+] pharmaceutical giant, Lilly.

Each student was valued and knew they belonged

Krutika softened as she recalled, I was the kid who got made fun of, because we all got grades starting in elementary school, and if you didnt get all As, you would be made fun of.I felt I wasnt good enough or smart enough or whatever enough. But Ms. Thornburg made it clear that she was there to help Krutika understand. And she made it clear that I was worthy enough to spend time with me. These teachers made it easy to ask questions. Steve was amazing, Nahid shared: No question was too stupid. I could put my guard down, I could relax and learn, versus being called on and being judged. Even with the passage of time, when details had evaporated, these accomplished researchers remembered how their teachers had a way of making everyone feel intelligent. Raga was generally a shy student, she said, so asking questions was a big deal. Knowing that she could ask questions without fear of being labeled opened her up, and opened up the science to her. It made all the difference, especially for someone who is introverted and shy and not necessarily self-confident. And for Janelle, who was bubbly, her mentor let me talk while doing bench research, accommodating me and my personality and style. Nahid started a new school halfway through her freshman year, but it was in Mr. Lantos 10th grade class that she first didnt feel like an outsider, a weirdo.

These teachers were kind and playful without sacrificing rigor

They gave out silly awards at the end of the year. They were open and shared and goofy, but they had discipline. Kind and effective, Raga said, where a lot of other teachers were on either end of that spectrum. The word nurturing showed up often. And they were master storytellers.

They connected their subject matter to what matters to kids

Syra Madad is the Senior Director of the System-wide Special Pathogens Program at NYC Health + ... [+] Hospitals and is helping oversee New York Citys COVID response. Syra credits a book her teacher gave her called The Hot Zone with igniting her interest in infectious disease.

Syras biology teacher gave her a book called The Hot Zone about ebola and invited her to explore the field of infectious disease. Garys biochemistry teacher would bring everything back to chemistry even current events. Had he not given me that one book, Syra reflected, I would not have gone into special pathogens, which was my entre to everything I do now.

They took time beyond the classroom and got to know students personally

To a T, these folks recalled teachers who were always there for students, during lunch, after school. Janelle told this story: Not having a lot of money, I approached Dr. Mosher and asked if he would mentor me. Girls dont often come to me and ask to do bench research, let alone on weekends and nights, she remembered him saying. He mentored and funded her science fair projects for six years using his lab. Syras teacher, Mr. Alicia, could see that she was motivatedand let her be the lead in dissecting a cat that even the boys who would present themselves as so macho were disgusted by. He made her the central character of stories he would tell about biology, praising her passion and motivation in front of the whole class. Krutika summed it up: Time is the greatest gift. I dont think you recognize that when youre younger. Someone dedicating time to you, that has an impact you might not understand, but when you go back and look, you realize that they were telling you all along you are smart enough, you are worthy.

Raga, who mentors young students through the New York Academy of Sciences, said she tries to keep these lessons in mind when she interacts with people, whether colleagues or mentees, because she knows what a difference someone who believes in you, inspires you, and opens you up can make. As I was talking to Nahid, she looked up her 10th grade chemistry teacher, Mr. Lantos, and practically yelped. I cant believe hes still here! The 35-year veteran of Brookline High School was still inspiring students. This is awesome.

Before They Were Scientists, They Were Students. These Are The Teachers Who Inspired COVID-19s Leading Experts To Change The World - Forbes

Everyone is looking for a cure for COVID-19. Brian Olson, a professor in the departments of biology and chemistry at County College of Morris, just might be onto something.

Olson recently had his research on coronavirus targets, An Online Repository of Solvation Thermodynamic and Structural Maps of SARS-CoV-2 Targets, published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Computer-Aided Molecular Design to assist with the development of drugs to combat the virus.

Olson, who is working with Tom Kurtzman of Lehman College and a team of researchers, is the lead author on the paper, which provides maps of water molecules on the viruss proteins that also are known as solvation maps.

Olson said knowing which water molecules need to be displaced, and which do not, provides essential information to guide the development of drugs to treat COVID-19. The first step toward determining that is mapping where the water molecules are located on the proteins, he said.

We were seeing clusters on multiple continents and were unable to trace the sources of infection, he said. It was clear this was going to be an immediate and international public health issue. That compelled me to do something.

The team utilized GIST, the computational tool developed by Kurtzman.

Now that solvation maps of the COVID-19 virus are available, Olson and his team plan to use that information to search for new drugs, they said. Making the information public and free also will aid others in their search for new and effective pharmaceuticals to defeat the coronavirus.

According to Altmetrics Attention Score, which measures the online attention and activity of research papers, the work conducted by the Olson team ranks in the Top 25%. Given that ranking, based on more than 2,200 views and over 300 downloads of the paper, Olson is encouraged about the development of drugs to fight the coronavirus.

I have never seen the international scientific community come together the way it has now to find some answers, he said. There is international collaboration and the sharing of information that previously would not have been shared.

Olson, who teaches forensic science at CCM, joined the colleges faculty in 2018. At CCM, he and several other professors developed the colleges first virtual reality class to teach students forensic science skills by analyzing murder scenes. Along with his work on the coronavirus, he is researching the development of painkillers to replace opiates.

Olson, who earned his associate degree in science from the Borough of Manhattan Community College, a bachelors in biochemistry from Hunter College and a masters in biochemistry from the City University of New York Graduate Center, is now working on his doctorate in biochemistry from CUNY Graduate Center.

Olson said he is a strong advocate for community colleges.

Community colleges place a high value on quality teaching, he said. I am so fortunate. I have fun researching tiny molecules and, on top of that, I get paid to talk to students about narcotics, murders and other fascinating topics. I cant imagine having a better job.

Impact Of Covid-19 Outbreak On Benchtop Biochemical Analyzer, Global Professional Survey Report 2020 - Industry Today

Photo: Glassy carbon, by Alchemist-hp (talk) (www.pse-mendelejew.de) / FAL.

Editors note: We are pleased to offer this excerpt from Dr. Dentons new book, The Miracle of the Cell. Join us on October 21 for a global webinar with Michael Denton celebrating the launch of his new book!

While there may be other forms of chemical life, perhaps based on boron or silicon (for which there is at present no empirical or theoretical evidence), what seems not in doubt is the supreme fitness of carbon for any chemical life form analogous to that on Earth. As Gross and Plaxco confess inAstrobiology, In the end there may very well be only a single element carbon the basis of all life on Earth that is able to support the complex chemistry presumably required to create a self-replicating chemical system.1

What is particularly striking about the properties of the carbon atom is that they appear to be fine-tuned in several different but complementary ways to generate the plenitude of compounds uniquely useful to life. Such a suite of properties, all seemingly arranged to generate a vast inventory of molecules ideal for the biochemistry of living cells, conveys a powerful impression of contrivance. More than a century ago Alfred Russel Wallace expressed, in hisWorld of Life:

We see, therefore, that carbon is perhaps the most unique, in its physical and chemical properties, of the whole series of the elements, and so far as the evidence points, it seems to exist for the one purpose of rendering the development of organized life a possibility. It further appears that its unique chemical properties, in combination with those of the other elements which constitute protoplasm, have enabled the various forms of life to produce that almost infinite variety of substances adapted for mans use and enjoyment, and especially to serve the purposes of his ever-advancing research into the secrets of the universe.2

It turns out that Wallace, peering into the biochemical basis of life, saw what has now become even clearer. Many have believed (and many still do believe) that Darwin drove teleology out of biology forever. But more than a century and half of scientific research since Darwin has shown that the fitness of nature for life on Earth, exemplified so wonderfully in the chosen atom, points irresistibly to purpose and design.

Excerpt The Chosen Atom - Discovery Institute

The optimal dose for prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is still unknown. This study evaluated the dose-response relationships for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decay and biochemical recurrence (BCR) among 4 SBRT dose regimens.

In 1,908 men with low-risk (50.0%), favorable intermediate-risk (30.9%), and unfavorable intermediate-risk (19.1%) prostate cancer treated with prostate SBRT across 8 institutions from 2003-2018, we examined 4 regimens (35 Gy/5 fractions [35/5, n=265, 13.4%], 36.25 Gy/5 fractions [36.25/5, n=711, 37.3%], 40 Gy/5 fractions [40/5, n=684, 35.8%], and 38 Gy/4 fractions [38/4, n=257, 13.5%]). Between dose groups, we compared PSA decay slope, nadir PSA (nPSA), achievement of nPSA 0.2 and 0.5 ng/mL, and BCR-free survival (BCRFS).

Median follow-up was 72.3 months. Median nPSA was 0.01 ng/mL for 38/4, and 0.17-0.20 ng/mL for 5-fraction regimens (p<0.0001). The 38/4 cohort demonstrated the steepest PSA decay slope and greater odds of nPSA 0.2 ng/mL (both p<0.0001 vs. all other regimens). BCR occurred in 6.25%, 6.75%, 3.95%, and 8.95% of men treated with 35/5, 36.25/5, 40/5, and 38/4, respectively (p=0.12), with the highest BCRFS after 40/5 (vs. 35/5 hazard ratio [HR] 0.49, p=0.026; vs. 36.25/5 HR 0.42, p=0.0005; vs. 38/4 HR 0.55, p=0.037) including the entirety of follow-up, but not for 5-year BCRFS (93% for all regimens, p0.21).

Dose-escalation was associated with greater prostate ablation and PSA decay. Dose-escalation to 40/5, but not beyond, was associated with improved BCRFS. Biochemical control remains excellent, and prospective studies will provide clarity on the benefit of dose-escalation.

Four Bristol researchers have been awarded UK Research and Innovation's (UKRI) prestigious Future Leaders Fellowships. The awards, designed to establish the careers of world-class research and innovation leaders across the UK to help them tackle major global challenges, are announced today [15 October] by Science Minister Amanda Solloway.

The initiative will see 101 fellows based at UK universities and businesses supported through an investment of 109 million.

Announcing the successful fellows at todays Future Leaders Conference, Science Minister Amanda Solloway said: We are committed to building back better through research and innovation, and supporting our science superstars in every corner of the UK. By backing these inspirational Future Leaders Fellows, we will ensure that their brilliant ideas can be transferred straight from the lab into vital everyday products and services that will help to change all our lives for the better.

UK Research and Innovation Chief Executive, Professor Dame Ottoline Leyser, said: Future Leaders Fellowships provide researchers and innovators with freedom and support to drive forward transformative new ideas and the opportunity to learn from peers right across the country.

"The fellows announced today illustrate how the UK continues to support and attract talented researchers and innovators across every discipline to our universities and businesses, with the potential to deliver change that can be felt across society and the economy."

Four Bristol researchers are among the recipients of UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships. These include:

Dr Hannah Griffiths from Bristols School of Biological Sciences who will explore how large above-ground mammals, such as deer, as well as tiny invertebrates and microbes under the soil, impact forest growth providing new knowledge that will inform efforts to increase biodiversity and combat climate change.

Soil communities are extremely complex and diverse, with millions of species and billions of individuals living within a single ecosystem. However, because life in soil is so small and numerous, studying below-ground food webs is extremely challenging and time consuming. Therefore, an important outcome of this work will be the use of cutting-edge genetic sequencing techniques to determine, for the first time, how the diversity of these difficult to study organisms influences carbon sequestration and therefore climate change mitigation strategies. The study will help us understand and mitigate the consequences of declines in global biodiversity for the ecosystem services that support humanity and generate data that will help manage the restoration of forests to reverse the decline in biodiversity and help mitigate global warming.

Dr Anya Skatova, a Turing Fellow and behavioural scientist at Bristol Medical School (Population Health Sciences) will work on realising the value of transaction data to improve population health. Her fellowship will question whether shopping history data, such as recorded through supermarket loyalty cards, can be used in a positive way to support health research and the development of new interventions. Dr Skatova, who is currently based in Bristols School of Psychological Science, will link retail loyalty card datasets with rich medical, genetic, early life environment and other records collected by the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). This will allow to create a transaction data linkage framework for other longitudinal cohorts and population health more broadly. Further, the fellowship will establish the feasibility of novel ways of assessing both health outcomes and associated lifestyle choices through objective measures of real-world behaviours reflected in retail shopping history data,and apply new methods on reproductive health domain.

The ultimate goal of the study is to put large commercial datasets such as shopping history data at the service of the public healthcare through contributing to early detection of diseases, developing and testing targeted interventions, and contributing to the evidence-based healthcare and health research.

Dr Siddhartha Kar, a cancer epidemiologist at the Bristol Medical School will study how a wide range of everyday factors, such as exercise and diet, as well as the human bodys physiology and biochemistry relate to the molecular characteristics of tumours in cancer patients. Dr Kar will then map how these tumour molecular characteristics, in turn, affect survival after a diagnosis of cancer. Some of these everyday factors, particularly those associated with lifestyle, are modifiable through public health interventions. Other physiological and biochemical measures, such as the levels of specific proteins or cholesterol in the blood, and the tumour molecular characteristics themselves, may be amenable to medical treatment. By establishing the causal chain from these factors or measures to tumour molecular features to cancer progression, Dr Kars work will inform the development of novel approaches to cancer prevention and therapy.

Dr Joshua Silverstone, a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow and member of the Quantum Engineering Technology (QET) Labs in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering will develop the optical-electrical systems that are essential for realising the coming quantum revolution. The development of quantum technologies will change how we collect, compute, and communicate information in our everyday lives. Using long-wavelength single photons, particles of light, together with tightly integrated electronics, Dr Silverstone and his team hope to overcome the barriers to building big quantum technology, making it useful in the wider world.

UKRIs initiative aims to support the creation of a new cohort of research and innovation leaders who will have links across different sectors and disciplines. Awardees will each receive between 400,000 and 1.5 million over an initial four years. The grant supports challenging and novel projects, and the development of the fellows career. The funding can also used to support team members, their development, and pay for equipment and other needs.

The Future Leaders Fellowships scheme, which is run by UK Research and Innovation, will recognise up to 550 individuals with a total investment of 900 million committed over 3 years. The scheme helps universities and businesses in the UK recruit, develop and retain the worlds best researchers and innovators, regardless of their background. They can apply for up to 1.5 million to support the research and innovation leaders of the future, keeping the UK at the cutting edge of innovation. Each fellowship will last four to seven years.

Round six of the Future Leaders Fellowships is currently open to applications. See: http://www.ukri.org/funding/funding-opportunities/future-leaders-fellowships/how-to-apply/

Automated Biochemistry Analyzers Market Analysis And Demand With Forecast Overview To 2025 - PRnews Leader

The first phase of construction will be complete by fall 2021. Photo by Meghan Stratton.

MEGHAN STRATTON | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF | mrstratt@butler.edu

Since breaking ground over a year ago, the massive, cordoned construction zone between Gallahue Hall and the Holcomb Building has given way to a brand-new connector building and the beginnings of a glittering glass atrium. The 96,000-square-foot project is the result of over ten years of planning, and as the metal framework grows every day, Butlers vision for a cutting-edge new science complex is coming to life.

There were several different groups involved in the initial project proposal, but it wasnt until June 2019 that the Board of Trustees officially approved the plans. LuAnne McNulty, associate dean and chemistry department chair, said she and Jay Howard, dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences, were on pins and needles awaiting the results of the Boards decision.

And I think, for days, both of us just walked around on a cloud of air because it was so exciting, McNulty, also a chemistry professor, said. And it was also, I think, for a lot of people, kind of an emotional moment, because so many of us came here and have been working in these facilities that we were told would be eventually upgraded. And so when it finally happened, it was just like, Oh my gosh.

After the announcement, Butler worked to solidify its plans and divided the construction process into three phases. Phase I will be completed in fall 2021, and the construction of the remaining two phases is on track to be completed by 2023. The project will add 11 classrooms of different sizes, the largest of which will be able to seat 75 students. Additionally, the complex will provide dedicated spaces for biology, chemistry, psychology, physics and engineering dual degree program majors.

Butler is hoping to raise $42 million of the $100 million renovation budget from donors. Meagan Burton-Krieger, development officer for university advancement, said donors have already contributed around $30 million in gifts and commitments.

The beauty of that is that we have so many passionate alumni and friends who are into what this building will mean, both to our students and our faculty but also to the city and to the industry around town, Burton-Krieger said.

Phase I

Phase I of the science complex construction project focuses on connecting Gallahue Hall and the Holcomb Building through the creation of a new connector building. This building will house classrooms, private study areas, a completely renovated science library, research labs and common spaces.

The buildings central focus is a large glass atrium, which is currently in the final stages of installation and completion. The atrium will serve as a common collaboration space, designed for students to casually socialize or to gather for larger assemblies like poster sessions and guest speakers.

Burton-Krieger said this space is designed intentionally; the science departments have traditionally struggled to figure out where to hold these types of events, as there is currently no large gathering space located near the science buildings.

The new science complex will feature an atrium with glass windows. Photo by Xan Korman.

Furniture for the atrium, which is currently being finalized, will include several small tables and chairs for gathering, as well as larger couches and individual chairs by the windows. Toward the west end, the atrium will also feature risers for students to gather on, as part of the Fenneman Gateway donor space.

Construction has begun on the risers that students will be able to gather on. Photo by Xan Korman.

Once completed, the risers will look similar to depiction in the renderings. Rendering courtesy of Butler University Office of Advancement.

The second floor of the connector building will hold the newly-renovated science library, which is now one floor instead of two. The library will feature a back wall made entirely of glass windows, collaborative group study spaces and individual study hubs. The science library is scheduled to open in March 2021, but the details of how students will enter amid construction is still being determined.

There are a couple of ways in, so were just trying to figure it out at that point with where we are construction wise, Burton-Krieger said.

The complex will feature a renovated science library. Photo by Xan Korman.

Next to the science library, there will be a classroom computer lab. There will also be a study space walled off by glass, similar to the Lacy School of Business Innovation Commons. Additionally, on the second floor there will be a classroom with a retractable glass wall meant to accommodate both open and closed environments, depending on the need. Burton-Krieger said this points back to the idea of collaboration within the sciences.

NcNulty said the research and teaching labs were designed with the future of science in mind. Even if science changes drastically in the next 20 years, McNulty said the facilities were designed to be changeable which translates to the implementation of pod seating and moveable coursework.

Phase I of the construction process has not come without outside influences: first, the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March and sent students home from campus. However, Eric Zeronik, senior superintendent at Pepper Construction of Indiana, said the pandemic has not had a big impact on the construction.

We were back here on our own and able to work, not outside of the limits or anything, but we were able to take advantage of a quiet campus, Zeronik said.

Despite the pandemic, the project is still on schedule for the original 2023 completion date, although the company did see a few minor delays for materials like glass. The construction project is essentially following the same health policy as Butler: workers are required to do a health check with temperature monitoring each day. Zeronik said they have only had about five workers self-quarantine, but that there havent been any positive COVID-19 cases on the project.

Pepper Construction is also currently priming to conduct construction in the cold winter months. To prepare, they are currently completely renovating the Holcomb Building roof and adding drywall to the connector building at a rate of 170 drywall sheets per day. Zeronik said the construction company is in the process of getting air handler units, what he calls the heart and lungs of the building, so the project will have hot air for the winter.

We have it to the point now where the main structure is up, were really getting the envelope buttoned up for the winter, Zeronik said. So when the colder weather comes in, well be dry.

Phase II

After the connector building is completed for fall 2021, the construction will shift focus to renovating and repurposing the Holcomb Building. The first floor of Holcomb will house the psychology major and neuroscience minor departments, while the physics department will be on the second floor. Finally, Butlers IT department and the dual-engineering program will be located on the third floor.

The Holcomb renovation will add classrooms and research labs in addition to common work spaces. Holcomb was the previous home of the Lacy School of Business until fall 2019, and thus the entire construction project needed to wait until the business school moved into their new building.

Phase III

After Holcomb is completely renovated, Gallahue Hall will be the next construction focal point. The biology and microbiology departments will be housed in the basement and ground floor of Gallahue, and the chemistry and biochemistry departments will occupy the second and third floors.

There will be several added classrooms and research labs in Gallahue as well. Specifically, one lab on the second floor will be dedicated to biochemical research.

It really is an interdisciplinary space Burton-Krieger said. Theres going to be a research space in there that really puts faculty who work together on the same topic together, versus by discipline.

Additionally, the current auditorium in Gallahue will receive considerable renovations and refreshments to the space. It will continue to serve as a classroom for large lectures.

Looking toward future phases

As Butler has seen a 50% enrollment increase in the past decade, Burton-Krieger said the science departments will be at capacity upon completion of the science complex expansion and renovation. The college of liberal arts and sciences is the largest college on campus, with over 35 programs.

Burton-Krieger said Butler has done two things intentionally in the construction process: allocated potential expansion room on the roof for a fourth floor, and left room at the back of the current expansion.

The complex will have a campus-wide impact, since all Butler students are required to take a Natural World class with a lab element as part of the core curriculum.

Not only does it impact our science majors and our COPHS majors, but also with the core requirement, every student will benefit from this building, which is one of the very few places on campus that actually happens, Burton-Krieger said. So this is a project that is for all Butler students.
