Versatile Nanoparticle Offers Targeted Transportation to Cells
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers led by WID’s Shaoqin “Sarah” Gong have developed a nanoparticle that could safely carry a variety of payloads into targeted cells, giving researchers a versatile, nonviral option for delivering drugs, gene-editing tools, DNA and more.
Critical Communications Component Made on a Flexible Wooden Film
WID's Shaoqin "Sarah" Gong is a collaborator on a paper published in Nature Communications in which UW engineers constructed a functional microwave amplifier circuit on a substrate of cellulose nanofibril paper, a wood product.
A Coalition of Scientists Takes on COVID-19 — with Data
Researchers at CALS and across the UW campus — including WID's Data Science Hub — are leading a new nationwide data science group focused on bringing new insights to pandemic management.
Research on Viral Junk, Quicker Drug Testing Could Help Outflank Coronaviruses
John Yin is working to find out whether "junk" particles produced by mouse viruses exist in human coronaviruses, and whether they may be the key to understanding how the viruses spread and interact with host cells.
