Hyperspectral Imaging of Atrial Ablation Lesions

014-016-sarvazyan – Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia estimated to affect over 10 million people in the United States by the year 2050. AF accounts for one third of all hospital admissions for cardiac rhythm disturbances and increases stroke probability by fivefold. Annual costs related to the management of AF in the United States alone are approximately $7 billion. The most... Read More

Glucose tolerance test in obese diabetic mice, 28 days after SOD2 upregulated human MSC delivery, intra-peritoneally.

Stem Cell Therapy for Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes

016-050-sen – Patients with type 2 diabetes have high blood sugar levels due to inadequate insulin production. This could be coupled with insulin resistance and inflammation. High blood sugar levels over a long term can lead to blindness, kidney failure, heart disease and nerve disease which commonly lead to amputations. Overweight and obese people have a much higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes... Read More

RNS Generation in Media

Method to generate cold atmospheric plasma-stimulated media to treat cancer

016-027-keidar –  For successful cancer therapy, the most important aspect is selective eradication of cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. Cancer cells and normal cells have different thresholds for tolerance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) before cell death (apoptosis) is induced. Previously, GW researchers invented a cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) therapy device... Read More

Software for Nucleotide Resolution of Allele Asymmetries from Sequencing Data

16-031-horvath – Single nucleotide variations (SNVs) are the most common type of genetic variation. Many are linked to diseases including cancer, but can be difficult to identify. Normally, both copies of a person’s genes are expressed at the same level despite the presence of different SNVs in each copy. However, sometimes one copy can be expressed much more than the other (allele asymmetry) and this can be... Read More

Point-to-point Latency

Hybrid interconnects for on-chip communication: A solution with low latency and efficient energy consumption

016-017 –   As computer chip feature sizes continue to decrease, power consumed due to on-chip communications will dramatically grow. This calls for new techniques which can provide higher bandwidth and data rates than over traditional electrical interconnects.   Photonic interconnects can provide higher bandwidth and data rates. However optoelectronic devices generally require more power and a... Read More

High Performance Graph Traversal Algorithm

016-001 – GW Researchers developed Enterprise: a new Breadth-First search (BFS) system that removes potential performance bottlenecks.  Enterprise tailors the BFS execution flow and data access pattern to match the hardware characteristics of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to take full advantage of high thread count and massive memory bandwidth.  Enterprise combines three techniques in order to...

One-pot synthesis of carbon nanofibers from CO2

015-035-licht – Carbon Nanofibers (CNFs) are highly desired as a material resource due to their superior strength, conductivity, flexibility, and durability.  Their use, however, is limited by the cost intensive complexities of their production.  Currently, the synthetic process has a 30-100 fold higher energetic cost relative to production costs of aluminum. Dr. Stuart Licht’s lab has developed a novel... Read More

Voltage Controlled Magnetization Switching for Magnetic Storage Devices

015-049-ghahremani – Motivated by the push for increased areal density beyond the super paramagnetic limit in the magnetic recording industry, GW Researchers from the Institute of Magnetic Research have developed a novel way of inducing reversible and dynamic tuning of the magnetic properties in a Co/Pt film system via controlled surface charge.  The technology presented shows that the dynamic tuning of these...

Diagnostic method for detecting bacterial/viral infections by host RNA levels in blood

015-030-mccaffrey – In instances of respiratory distress, it is often difficult to determine whether an infection is present or if the distress is purely inflammatory in nature. Treatments for these conditions differ greatly (either with antibiotics for infection or with anti-inflammatory drugs in case of no infection), although symptoms can often be similar. Currently, physicians run a white blood cell (WBC)... Read More

Cortical models created for 28-44 weeks in infants using neonatal atlas.

Automated Parcellation of Prenatal and Neonatal Brains

015-045-alassaf – When diagnosing developmental neurological disorders, physicians start by labeling (parcellating) brain regions. Growth abnormalities in specific regions correspond to deficits in particular neurological functions. Historically, cortical parcellation is done manually by trained experts, which is costly and time-consuming (1-5 days for a single brain scan from magnetic resonance imaging). ... Read More
