University scientists at the Minor Lab have created a database to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information about the COVID-19 virus in hopes of giving the biomedical community trusted structural information about the virus’s components. The team hopes this website will help scientists, as well as the broader research community, find and use accurate information about the virus and is actively looking for collaborators.

Last year, University neuroscientists Alban Gaultier and Dorian Rosen found that antidepressant drug Fluvoxamine may help control inflammation in the immune response system. In May, that discovery sparked a clinical trial at Washington University in St. Louis to determine if the drug could help treat COVID-19 patients, as reducing inflammation in the body has become a key way to fight the virus.

The process of neurodevelopment is responsible for creating neurological pathways in the brain that are responsible for controlling our movements, body functions and helping us retain memories. According to the Brighton Center for Pediatric Neurodevelopment, neurodevelopment sets a person up for the rest of their life and is a critical function. During this process, over half of the neurons die, a process called cell cleanup or dieback, in order to ensure the strongest neurological connections. A group of University neuroscientists and researchers discovered the importance of the AIM2 cell cleanup pathway as it relates to faulty cell cleanup and possible reactivation later in life.

Last April, the U.S. Department of Energy announced the release of its first annual Solar District Cup Collegiate Design Competition, and since then, University students interested in solar design have had the opportunity to get involved with the competition and work on a real life solar energy project. Ruijie “Roger” Zhu — team leader and doctoral student in mechanical and aerospace engineering — pulled together a multi-disciplinary team for the District Solar Cup Competition composed of chemistry doctoral student Zhongwen Luo, Engineering undergraduate student Catlinh Nguyen and Batten undergraduate student Laura Guerrero.

In coming years, graphene — an incredibly strong and thin material — could replace current car batteries and other materials, making vehicles more environmentally friendly, University researchers found. Based on its chemical properties, graphene, when mixed with nickel, creates a viable composite that could act as the energy source for vehicles.

In the past 10 years, as climate change has become a significant threat, the University has signed on to a number of greenhouse gas reduction commitments. Despite this, the University heat plant still uses a significant amount of fossil fuels, which may pose dangers to the environment and human health. According to Facilities Management, the University is classified as a major source of hazardous air pollutants which means the University has the potential to emit more than 10 tons per year of an individual hazardous pollutant.
