Nate Oldenhuis 鈥� Nate Oldenhuis Oldenhuis, an assistant professor in chemistry, plans to leverage the grant to explore new applications of DNA that is a byproduct of COVID vaccine production. His lab aims to transform DNA from its conventional role in vaccine manufacturing into biomaterials mimicking the mechanical properties of human tissues. This approach holds promise due to DNA's unique programmability and ability to behave without adverse effects to the body, offering potential... ]]> Thu, 01 Aug 2024 18:00 -0400 Brooks Payette /unhtoday/2024/08/two-professors-receive-4-million-improve-wound-healing-and-tissue-generation /unhtoday/2022/11/shipping-sounds 91制片厂 researchers found no significant change in the U.S. continental shelf's underwater soundscape during the COVID-19 lockdown. ]]> Thu, 03 Nov 2022 09:00 -0400 Rebecca Irelan /unhtoday/2022/11/shipping-sounds /unhtoday/2022/07/sequencing-variants With new funding from the National Institutes of Health, 91制片厂 wilil continue its genomic surveillance of COVID-19 variants in New Hampshire. ]]> Wed, 13 Jul 2022 10:00 -0400 Beth Potier /unhtoday/2022/07/sequencing-variants /unhtoday/2022/06/repurposing-drug-compound-could-slow-covid-spread Krisztina Varga, associate Professor of Molecular, cellular and Biomedical Sciences.

In a first-of-its-kind study, 91制片厂 researchers found that using an existing drug compound in a new way, known as drug repurposing, could be successful in blocking the activity of a key enzyme of the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. 鈥淭he goal was to slow or prevent the spread of the virus by using a strategic therapeutic that could possibly disrupt key steps in the viral life cycle at the molecular level, like the first contact with a healthy cell or the first step in replicating within an... ]]> Tue, 21 Jun 2022 12:15 -0400 Robbin Ray 鈥�82 /unhtoday/2022/06/repurposing-drug-compound-could-slow-covid-spread /unhtoday/2022/05/innovation-inspiration 91制片厂Innovation honored its Innovators of the Year for 2020 and 2021. ]]> Tue, 17 May 2022 16:15 -0400 Beth Potier /unhtoday/2022/05/innovation-inspiration /unhtoday/2022/04/covid-fueled-recreation 91制片厂 research led by assistant professor of recreation management and policy Michael Ferguson found a dramatic increase during the pandemic of visitors to the parks and protected areas of New England that resulted in significant social, situational and ecological impacts. ]]> Thu, 14 Apr 2022 12:30 -0400 Robbin Ray 鈥�82 /unhtoday/2022/04/covid-fueled-recreation https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/599584-3-out-of-4-us-counties-had-more-deaths-than-births-in-past-year COVID-19 claimed more lives than births over聽the past year, leaving 400 counties in America with their first-ever population declines.
