Wisconsin Institute for Discovery Awarded Grant to Explore Wisconsin State STEM Fellowship Program
Piper Rawding, Postdoc in the Gong Lab won for her project “Optimizing non-viral vectors for retinal genome editing”
Del Pia specializes in mixed-integer linear and quadratic programming, as well as binary polynomial optimization.
Her article, Decoding Our Inner Universe: The Power of the Microbiome Network Alignment Algorithm was among the articles chosen for the honor.
She recently received the award to fund her work on stem cell tool development for pain circuitry.
Artists Sonya Sankaran and Richie Morales merge their unique styles to creatively highlight regenerative agriculture in the latest Science to Street Art mural at State Line Distillery.
Newly appointed special advisor for the entrepreneurial initiative, Jon Eckhardt, will lead efforts to align key stakeholders and explore structures to support the design of a formal campus entrepreneurship platform.
Wisconsin Institute for Discovery fellow Bilge Mutlu (People and Robots Lab and INTEGRATE) will support Human AugmentatioN via Dexterity (HAND), an NSF-funded collaboration dedicated to improving robot dexterity with an NSF grant.
New research from the David Baum Lab at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery sheds light on how autocatalysis, a key process, played a role in the origins and evolution of life on Earth. The study introduces a new mathematical tool that makes it easier to identify Minimal Autocatalytic Sets (MASs) in Chemical Reaction Networks (CRNs), representing a big step forward in understanding this complex process.
Dr. Krishanu Saha and Dr. Dan Cappabianca are featured on a news clip on Channel3000.
Postdoc Highlight: Kirstan Gimse has taken her passion for investigating neurodegenerative diseases and pushed it into a new area by working as a Genomic Sciences Training Program (GSTP) Postdoctoral trainee with Drs. Sushmita Roy and Krishanu Saha.
Unconventional paths and microbial communities - postdoc highlight of Margaret Thairu. “The overall goal of my current projects is to better understand microbial community function.”
Discovery Fellow, Laura Knoll and WID Affiliate Jerry Zhu have been honored with Kellett Mid-Career Awards to support those promoted to tenured positions seven to 20 years ago and who have made key research contributions in their fields.
Wright was chosen for his fundamental contributions to nonlinear optimization and for applying optimization techniques to such areas as control, compressed sensing, machine learning, and data science.
Cells treated with “metabolic priming” retained their stem cell-like qualities, thus enhancing their ability to kill cancer cells, transform into durable memory cells, and survive longer in the body.
A new study from the Krishanu Saha lab suggests using CRISPR technology to optimize natural immune responses by bioengineering and remodeling T cells. Using a multiplexing technique, the team addresses key challenges in current cancer therapies that could significantly improve treatment outcomes. “We have developed a new way to engineer immune cells to fight cancer more safely and effectively. Think of it as reprogramming the body’s own soldiers (T cells) to recognize and attack cancer cells,” says Cappabianca.
Science to Street Art is pleased to announce that the Call for Mural Artists is now open until July 7th. The themes for the murals are Regenerative Agriculture, Chemistry of Distilling, and Women in Distilling. They are offering a compensation of $20,000.
Kevin Ponto and Ross Tredinnick have received funding to develop a method for detecting vehicular hail damage using consumer device sensors, enabling remote and asynchronous documentation without in-person assessments.
Scientists at WID, University of Wisconsin–Madison, find that ‘stickiness’ helps some soil microbes thrive by aiding surface colonization. What makes them sticky?
Stephen Wright, a Wisconsin Institute for Discovery Fellow and Computer Science professor, has been awarded a Hilldale Professorship for his pioneering work in continuous optimization and machine learning.
The Marie Christine Kohler Fellows @ WID program, hosted by the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery at UW–Madison, is currently open for application submissions. This unique fellowship fosters interdisciplinary collaboration by bringing together graduate students in the arts and sciences. Participants will work in pairs to develop and showcase a art-science …
The Capstone Teaching Award recognizes dissertators at the end of their graduate program with an outstanding teaching record over the course of their UW–Madison tenure, WID is proud to have our own Melissa Schoenlein be one of the honored recipients.
Emile Gluck-Thaler joined the UW–Madison faculty in September 2023 as an assistant professor in the Department of Plant Pathology.
