Detecting Disease In Less Than 60 Seconds
Chemists and immunologists
devised a new rapid system
for detecting and
identifying viruses. It uses
surface enhanced Raman
spectroscopy to measure the
frequency of near-infrared

Predicting A Pandemic
Using math and computer
science, engineers created a
model to forecast the
progression of a future
pandemic. They looked at the
way diseases spread to new
people and over distances in
order to prepare for future

Cleaning Infected Blood
Infectious disease experts
designed a machine called
the hemopurifier. It works
much like a dialysis
machine, using thin fibers
to capture and remove
viruses from the blood it

Does Winter Cause The Flu?
Virologists investigating
transmission of the flu
virus found that it is more
likely to spread at colder
temperatures. The dry, cold
conditions pull moisture out
of droplets released by

Electrical Engineers And Medical Technologists Create Easier Way To Diagnose Diabetes
Endocrinologists, engineers, and microbiologists worked together to create a new testing method for diabetes. It projects light into the skin in order to measure the presence of advanced glycation ... > more -
Neurosurgeonýs Drive Propels Him From Border Fence To Faculty
Physician scientist Alfredo Quinones has come a long way since illegally entering the United States. Today he is a faculty member at Johns Hopkins University. Quinones is a respected brain surgeon ... > more -
Infectious Disease Specialists Design New Rapid Flu Test
New flu tests can diagnose the flu in as little as 30 minutes, to cut down on needless antibiotic use, which can build up resistance and make some infections untreatable by current ... > more -
Biochemists Develop Diagnostic Tool to ID Strains Faster
Biochemists have developed a new tool that can identify a strain of influenza in hours, instead of the usual days or weeks, potentially speeding up the development of new vaccines. A sample of the ... > more -
Hematologists Boost Immune Response in Bone-Marrow Transplant Patients
To lessen the impact of chemotherapy on bone marrow cancer patients, hematologists are recruiting the patients' own immune systems to help. White blood cells are extracted before a bone marrow ... > more -
Researchers Apply DNA Biology to Vaccination Technique
Spraying viral genes directly through the skin is a new technique that turns infinitesimal amounts of DNA into an effective vaccine. If approved for use in humans, the new procedure could save lives ... > more -
Microbiologists Find Soap and Water Best for Washing Hands, Removing Germs
Microbiologists tested 14 hand-hygiene agents -- everything from soap and alcohol rubs to plain old tap water -- against hardy bacteria and viruses applied to the hands of 62 volunteers. The study ... > more
