Reclamation chose nine recipients to receive $1.6 million in financial assistance to collaborate, design, construct, install and test their technology on a pilot scale. This two-stage process had the applicants pitch their innovative and industry disruptive technology to technology experts.

Detection of molecular interactions is the foundation for many important biotechnology applications in society and industry, such as drug discovery, diagnostics, and DNA sequencing. This peer-reviewed paper describes a broadly applicable platform for detecting molecular interactions at the single-molecule scale, in real-time, label-free, and potentially highly multiplexable, using single-molecule sensors on a highly scalable semiconductor sensor array chip. Developed by Roswell Biotechnologies, these chips are both practically manufacturable in the near term and have a durable long-term scaling roadmap, thus providing an ideal way to bring the power of modern chip technology to the broad area of biosensing. This work also realizes a 50-year-old scientific vision of integrating single molecules into electronic chips to achieve the ultimate miniaturization of electronics.

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences calls into question the primacy of meat eating in early human evolution.

In a study of couples trying to conceive, Boston University researchers found no association between COVID-19 vaccination and the likelihood of conception in female or male partners who received the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson vaccines.

A joint gift to the University of Southern California (USC) and the University of California San Diego totaling $50 million from the Epstein Family Foundation will drive Alzheimer’s research and accelerate the search for treatments and a cure. The generous donation establishes the Epstein Family Alzheimer’s Research Collaboration at USC and UC San Diego. The gift will be split evenly, with $25 million going to each institution. The funding will support existing research at each university and will spark new collaborative efforts to discover effective therapies for Alzheimer’s disease.

A moderate amount of a peptide-enhanced cancer drug goes a long way in treating breast cancers that metastasize to the bone.
