An automated, high-resolution phenotypic assay for adult Brugia malayi and microfilaria
Upender Kalwa, Yunsoo Park, Michael J. Kimber +1
Brugia malayi are thread-like parasitic worms and one of the etiological agents of Lymphatic filariasis (LF). Existing anthelmintic drugs to treat LF are effective in reducing the…
Parameter extraction of Extended Floating Gate Field Effect Transistors (EGFETs): Estimating the threshold voltage, series resistance, and mobility degradation from I-V measurements
Yunsoo Park, Santosh Pandey
Extended Floating Gate Field Effect Transistors (EGFETs) are CMOS-compatible floating gate devices capable of detecting charges on their sensing area by the relative shifts in curr…
Flexible and disposable paper- and plastic-based gel micropads for nematode handling, imaging, and chemical testing
Zach Njus, Taejoon Kong, Upender Kalwa +5
Today, the area of point-of-care diagnostics is synonymous with paper microfluidics where cheap, disposable, and on-the-spot detection toolkits are being developed for a variety of…
Scan4CFU: Low-cost, open-source bacterial colony tracking over large areas and extended incubation times
Santosh Pandey, Yunsoo Park, Ankita Ankita +1
A hallmark of bacterial populations cultured in vitro is their homogeneity of growth, where the majority of cells display identical growth rate, cell size and content. Recent insig…
Effective drug combination for Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes discovered by output-driven feedback system control technique
Xianting Ding, Zach Njus, Taejoon Kong +3
Infections from parasitic nematodes (or roundworms) contribute to a significant disease burden and productivity losses for humans and livestock. The limited number of anthelmintics…
New methods of removing debris and high-throughput counting of cyst nematode eggs extracted from field soil
Upender Kalwa, Christopher Legner, Elizabeth Wlezien +2
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is the most damaging pathogen of soybeans in the United States. To assess the severity of nematode infestations in the field,…
Skin Cancer Diagnostics with an All-Inclusive Smartphone Application
Upender Kalwa, Christopher Legner, Taejoon Kong +1
Among the different types of skin cancer, melanoma is considered to be the deadliest and is difficult to treat at advanced stages. Detection of melanoma at earlier stages can lead…
Robotic agricultural instrument for automated extraction of nematode cysts and eggs from soil to improve integrated pest management
Christopher M. Legner, Gregory L. Tylka, Santosh Pandey
Soybeans are an important crop for global food security. Every year, soybean yields are reduced by numerous soybean diseases, particularly the soybean cyst nematode (SCN). It is di…
Video Capsule Endoscopy and Ingestible Electronics: Emerging Trends in Sensors, Circuits, Materials, Telemetry, Optics, and Rapid Reading Software
Dylan Miley, Leonardo Bertoncello Machado, Calvin Condo +3
Real-time monitoring of the gastrointestinal tract in a safe and comfortable manner is valuable for the diagnosis and therapy of many diseases. Within this realm, our review captur…
Trends in Workplace Wearable Technologies and Connected-Worker Solutions for Next-Generation Occupational Safety, Health, and Productivity
Vishal Patel, Austin Chesmore, Christopher M. Legner +1
The workplace influences the safety, health, and productivity of workers at multiple levels. To protect and promote total worker health, smart hardware, and software tools have eme…
Open Droplet Microfluidics for Testing Multi-Drug Resistance and Antibiotic Resilience in Bacteria
Taejoon Kong, Nicholas Backes, Gregory Phillips +1
New combinations of existing antibiotics are being investigated to combat bacterial resilience. This requires detection technologies with reasonable cost, accuracy, resolution, and…
