Investigating host-microbiota interactions in IBD and CDI
(2020)
Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) has been recognized as a pathogenic bacterium in patients with antibiotic exposure or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Similar to antibiotics, IBD has been associated with altered ...
Improving Intravenous Drip Control in Ghanaian Hospitals and Clinics
(2020)
Despite the centrality of IV infusions in patient treatment, many low- and mid-resource healthcare settings around the world, such as at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, Ghana, do not have the sophisticated ...
Robotic 3D Tetris
(2020)
The Comau 3D Bin Packer is an integrated software and hardware system that automates placing items into a container with a robot using computer vision, modern segmentation techniques, and a team-designed bin packing ...
TSBP: Tangent Space Belief Propagation for Manifold Learning
(2020-08)
We present Tangent Space Belief Propagation (TSBP) as a method for graph denoising to improve the robustness of manifold learning algorithms. Dimension reduction by manifold learning relies heavily on the accurate selection ...
Analysis of Solenoids as a Means of Exploring the Prototyping Process
(2020)
This project is an offshoot of the Hammond Organ MDP team’s work to bring an electronic organ into the 21st Century. This led to a discussion of the use of solenoids as a mechanical playback system. In turn, this paper ...
Targeted Delivery of Human Exosomes via Bispecific Antibody Platform
(2023)
Background: Exosomes are cell-derived nanovesicles which have been proposed as potential drug carriers. Fusion of affinity ligands to exosome surface proteins has been shown to enhance uptake by target tissues, but requires ...
Determining the Underlying Distributions of Change in Free Energy Change for Pathogenic and Benign Protein Mutations
(2023)
A mutation in a patient's genome can affect a protein in that patient’s body, resulting in either no change in the health of the patient or a disease experienced by the patient. Assigning terminology, the mutations can ...
Creating Comprehensive Player Profiles for D1 Athletes at the University of Michigan
(2023)
The idea behind this project is to gather and analyze data within the athletic department at the University of Michigan to create “player profiles” for each member of the women’s soccer team. Each individual player profile ...
Reprogramming of Steroid Metabolism in Natural Killer Cell Activation via Lipids
(2023)
Natural Killer (NK) cells are an important part of the innate immune system that primarily fight tumors and microbial infections. It has been found that obesity (i.e. an excess of lipids) impairs NK cell metabolism and ...
Automatic Real-Time Tracking of Soleus Muscle Fascicles for Ankle Exoskeleton Control
(2023)
Human locomotion, like walking and running, is a complex and energy-intensive task, and exoskeletons are being developed to reduce the metabolic cost of locomotion. Dr. Pridham and Dr. Stirling recently developed an ankle ...
