UF to lead $7.5m NSF-funded project on protecting security of marginalized and vulnerable populations

Using a $7.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), University of Florida engineers are leading a new effort to understand how groups like the poor, children and the elderly, and the disabled are marginalized by current technologies like smartphones and video conferencing and how current and future technologies can be designed to be more inclusive.

UF Researchers Find Particles From Virus That Causes COVID to Expand Beyond Quarantine Spaces

Researchers at the University of Florida found that residential settings might be hotspots to spread SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, due to poor ventilation in homes and the relaxed usage of masks. As part of this study, researchers were also the first to demonstrate a viable, or infectious, virus on the surface of a cellphone.

Innovative Injectable Enzyme Crafted by UF Biomed Engineers Shows Promise for Liver Transplants

Ben Keselowsky Ph.D., professor, and Greg Hudalla, Ph.D., associate professor, both in the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering, are collaborating with UF College of Medicine researchers on a three-year, $2.6M R01 project funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) that will further develop a novel enzyme-based therapeutic that has shown early promise in the treatment of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI).

Researchers at the University of Florida are using a $7.5M grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace Frontiers program to examine the needs of marginalized and vulnerable populations among security and privacy technologies. “We've found that addressing the needs of under-served populations has positive effects on citizens, and by increasing access and inclusion, all citizens will be able to participate in future innovation,” said Kevin R.B. Butler, Ph.D., lead principal investigator. 📰: news.ufl.edu/2022/08/protecting-security-of-marginalized-populations#Research UF Research ... See MoreSee Less
