As people are living longer and healthier lives despite disease, disability and injury, today's research promise is tomorrow's hope. Hope that researchers will continue to uncover human genetics and physiology to better understand all the normal and pathological processes that shape our bodies and our minds. Hope that scientists and engineers can use that knowledge to develop new technologies and devices, new drugs or biologicals, or new policies and preventative practices. Hope that medical researchers will help bring about new, precision medicine approaches to treating diseases and improving human health. Hope that new strides in fundamental physics will be translated unto medicine. And hope that all this will lead to a brighter, healthier future for humanity.

"Your hope is our hope -- that as we move into the future, discoveries that touch humanity, helping make better lives, will touch and help you," said Jason Socrates Bardi, AIP News Director and Editor of Bioengineering Today.

Bioengineering Today is written for professional and enthusiastic general audiences. For professional audiences, the journal offers news briefs and long-form reporting on interdisciplinary research in the biomedical research field. For general audiences, the magazine offers news, investigative analysis and useful information that can be applied to daily life. There are also opportunities for more interaction through Bioengineering Today's Facebook page and Twitter account to engage in further discussions about the topics that interest and inspire readers.

UW student wins coveted grant to develop HIV rapid test – KING5.com

KING 5's Lili Tan reports

SEATTLE -- Some University of Washington students are developing a test which could improve the lives of people around the world.

Its a credit card-sized HIV test called the OLA Simple.

Very much looking like a pregnancy test. So there will be lines and you can know the result right away, Nuttada Panpradist said.

The bioengineering Ph.D. student recently won a $50,000 grant from Massachusetts General Hospital. Panpradist says the APF student technology prize for primary healthcare is a coveted grant, and she is the first UW student to win.

This is essentially the first time that we can get our ideas - that we have been scratching on boards for a long, long time - into action, Panpradist said.

OLA Simple is an HIV rapid test that looks for mutations caused by the virus. Searching for biomarkers means patients could undergo testing five days after possible HIV infection rather than having to wait three months like with traditional lab tests. The test also aims to produce results in one hour instead of nine, and to look for drug resistance to anti-retro viral medications.

Panpradist, who hails from outside Bangkok, Thailand, says many people can often go untested because of stigma. She worked in the medical device field before coming to Seattle.

Thats where I started to realize maybe I can be the one to build these technologies to help save lives, she said.

According to the World Health Organizations most recent data, there were 36.7 million people living with HIV in 2015, with 2.1 million infected that year and 1.1 million who died of AIDS-related complications.

In the U.S., one out of every eight people living with the virus are unaware, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

To stop the spread, early detection is crucial, particularly in developing countries.

It has vast implications. There were some pretty shocking numbers and we were very driven to really try to make this work, said Annie Wong, a UW senior on the research team.

Panpradists students feel a shared sense of duty because they know their science could help solve real-life scenarios.

A lot of research that goes on never is translated to the world and helps people, UW junior David McIntyre said. It gives me extra motivation knowing what's going on in those countries and where we can actually provide help.

IIT Guwahati researchers working to develop coronavirus vaccine! – Northeast Now

Posted on by

While the world is facing a major crisis due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the IIT Guwahati researchers are working to develop a vaccine to provide an active acquired immunity to the infectious disease.

A media report said the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati is also making efforts to develop rapid detection and portable diagnostic kits for various viruses and microorganisms.

The group of IIT Guwahati researchers has been led by Prof Sachin Kumar of the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering.

The report quoted the institute as informing that to find a solution for the diseases, its researchers are exploring possibilities to clone the immunogenic proteins of SARS-CoV-2 to be used as diagnostics and possible vaccine candidates.

COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Meanwhile, to prevent the spread of the virus, the institute has also developed the prototype of a Faceshield or mask as per the guideline of the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The team has been led by Dr. Supradip Das of the Department of Design.

Informing about this, the IIT Guwahati on its Twitter handle said: @IITGuwahati has developed the prototype of a Faceshield as per the guideline of the @WHO to be used along with other Personal protective equipment. Faculty has plans to #3Dprint up to 100 pieces. congratulations to Dr. Supradip Das, AP, DoD.

According to the media report, IIT Guwahati has also developed hand-sanitisers as prescribed by the WHO and these are being distributed to everyone on the campus of the institute, including visitors.

The researchers group of the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering in IIT Guwahati earlier developed recombinant vaccines against Japanese encephalitis and classical swine fever virus.

The research was published in the journal Vaccine and Archives of Virology.
