Researchers at the Beckman Institute developed an artificial intelligence model that can accurately identify tumors and diseases in medical images. The tool draws a map to explain each diagnosis, helping doctors follow its line of reasoning, check for accuracy, and explain the results to patients.
Supported by a $2 million R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health, the Auerbach Lab at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology will examine how different genes associated with autism spectrum disorders may similarly impact our brain’s neurons, resulting in heightened sensitivity to sounds.
Beckman researchers and collaborators received $3 million from the U.S. National Institute on Aging to develop diagnostic tools and imaging agents for the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease.
The Speech Accessibility Project has begun recruiting U.S. and Puerto Rican adults who have had a stroke.
A Beckman study led by Paul Bogdan and Florin and Sanda Dolcos suggests the moments that follow a distressing episode are more memorable than the moments leading up to it.
The Speech Accessibility Project is now recruiting U.S. and Puerto Rican adults with cerebral palsy.
The Speech Accessibility Project has expanded its recruitment and is inviting U.S. and Puerto Rican adults living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to participate.
Researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology developed a microscope that visualizes the invisible forces exerted by light at the nanoscale. This groundbreaking tool reveals the intimate tango between light, force, and temperature with unprecedented detail and speed.
The Microscopy Suite at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology gets ready to celebrate 25 years of Bugscope. This free, web-based program focuses on science outreach and education by connecting classrooms with microscopists to explore insects under a high-powered microscope.
Through the Infant Development Project, researchers from the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology in the Interdisciplinary Lab for Social Development explored how early brain activity relates to the flexibility of infants’ social interactions and their ability to recover from stress.
The Speech Accessibility Project is now recruiting U.S. adults with Down syndrome. The project aims to make voice recognition technology more useful for people with diverse speech patterns and different disabilities.
Beckman researchers developed a cost-friendly, customizable, electrochemistry robot called the Electrolab to perform autonomous experiments in the laboratory. The Electrolab will be used to explore next-generation energy storage materials and chemical reactions that promote alternative and sustainable energy.
Researchers at the Beckman Institute will conduct electrochemical reactions in microdroplets to produce clean hydrogen, sequester carbon dioxide, and store renewable energies like wind and solar inexpensively and sustainably. Their project, called DROPLETS, received $4.5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science through its Energy Earthshots Initiative.
Researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology have established the protein p53 as critical for regulating sociability, repetitive behavior, and hippocampus-related learning and memory in mice, illuminating the relationship between the protein-coding gene TP53 and neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.
University of Illinois researchers received NSF funding to acquire a fully automated polymer analysis instrument to be housed at the Beckman Institute.
Beckman researchers and collaborators received $30 million from the U.S. National Science Foundation to establish the NSF Science and Technology Center for Quantitative Cell Biology.
Traditional perceptions of intelligence may have created unfair limitations for students, especially those from historically marginalized communities. Beckman researcher and psychology professor LaTasha Holden believes that changing our fundamental understanding of what intelligence is can help develop antiracist practices and build a more equitable society.
The Speech Accessibility Project is almost halfway through its first phase of gathering voice recordings from people with Parkinson’s. Project participant and Parkinson's advocate Ethan Henderson can comment.
If the human cell is a nightclub, then the nucleus is a VIP lounge fiercely maintained by the nuclear pore complex. By modeling a dynamic simulation of the NPC, Beckman physicists have theorized as to why some proteins enter the nucleus more readily than others.
A water purification system created by researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology separates salt and unnecessary particles with an electrified version of dialysis. Successfully applied to wastewater, the method saves money and saps 90% less energy than its counterparts.
