SMU Professor Gets $1.8M NIH Award to Study How Bodies May Work to Repair Cells
by David Seeley | Sep 18, 2023
The award will help SMU biology professor Zhihao Wu determine if different "quality control pathways" in our bodies might be working together to repair damaged components in cells. The research could help lead to "new therapeutic targets" for hallmarks known to cause many human diseases, the university said.

A holder of 34 patents, Sherry was a pioneer in designing molecular materials for use in medical imaging. His work on chemicals called macrocyclic ligands led to their use in carrying "a payload of metallic radiotherapeutic compounds that can kill cancer cells on contact, while the outside molecular structure can be designed to bind to a specific protein that ensures precise delivery to only diseased tissue," Amanda Siegfried writes in UT Dallas Magazine.

A team of UT Dallas bioengineers has developed a rapid test for viruses that delivers results as accurate as PCR lab tests within 30 minutes. The test works by attaching gold nanoparticles to antibodies against the virus being tested, then scanning them with two lasers.
Three months after winning the grand prize at the MassChallenge North Texas pitch competition, the team's leader, Dr. Zhenpeng Qin, is working to commercialize the technology through a new company, Avsana Labs.
