Dr. Liqun Ning, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (MCE), has been awarded a two-year, $200,000 Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) award from the National Science Foundation for his project titled, “ERI: Investigating Scaffold Degradation for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: From Mechanism to in vivo Application.” The ERI program supports new investigators as they initiate their research programs and advance in their careers as researchers, educators, and innovators.
Dr. Ning’s research will focus on understanding the material-structure-degradation relationships of nerve scaffolds and the links between scaffold degradation and nerve regeneration. To study this, he will develop a more precise bioprinting method to tailor the scaffold structures and will utilize a novel, non-invasive synchrotron-based micro-CT imaging platform to study the scaffolds in vivo.

Reminder: Introduction to Quantum Computing August 25-September 26 Discover the principles of quantum computing in this introductory course. You will distinguish bits from qubits, master single- and two-qubit gate operations to construct basic circuits and analyze state transformations through superposition and entanglement. You will explore quantum algorithms, Deutsch and Grover, and assess their advantages over classical counterparts. You will examine noise challenges and simple error correction techniques. Finally, you will evaluate quantum computing's impact on cryptography and investigate quantum teleportation. Enroll now to build a rigorous foundation in quantum information science. Cleveland State University staff and full-time faculty may register using the professional development benefit. |

UPDATE: European Patent Issuance The European Patent Office has allowed Application No. 16 854 445.0-1111 titled Recombinant Prothrombin Analogues and Uses Thereof that names Dr. Michael Kalafatis, a professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry and a member of the Center for Gene Regulation in Health and Disease (GRHD). The inventive method comprises administering the polypeptide(s) of the general inventive concepts to a subject who has or is at risk of having arterial thrombosis. Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. Arterial thrombosis means a blood clot formed in the artery which can be fatal. |
