A UF team has developed a microfluidic device for DNA purification that could speed up analysis of laboratory samples and match or exceed the purity of existing methods.

The project — a partnership between the College of Nursing, the College of Dentistry, the Office of Interprofessional Education, and the Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering — uses a combination of AI, virtual reality, and simulation technology to enhance how students communicate with patients, collaborate with colleagues, and develop critical skills essential to clinical practice.

Equipped with a cutting-edge nanoparticle imaging technology, federal funds and a quest to quash pain, researchers at the University of Florida are working to revolutionize osteoarthritis treatments.

The University of Florida will lead one of seven regional hubs of a new, $285 million nationwide institute dedicated to advancing America’s semiconductor industry through next-generation simulations known as digital twins. 

University of Florida researchers recently concluded the largest study on audio deepfakes to date, challenging 1,200 humans to identify real audio messages from digital fakes.

The college is pleased to announce that Jennifer “Jenny” Andrew, Ph.D. will serve as the inaugural Associate Dean for Research and Innovation (ADRI).

Nanoscale Research Facility (NRF) is the new name of the facilities previously known as Research Service Centers (RSC).

Armed with a $2.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, University of Florida biomedical professor Ivana Parker, Ph.D., is targeting one of the most common – and dangerous – infections in women.  

UF cybersecurity professor Kevin Butler developed the framework, which spells out guidance for countries to prevent fraud and abuse on mobile cash apps. Cash apps are the prominent form of banking in Africa, South America and Southeast Asia and can leave people vulnerable to losing their life savings.

UF is one of four academic institutions tasked with building scientific capacities and seeking solutions for the effects of environmental changes on human health.
