Marasco Bridging Chemistry & AI-Empowered Imaging For Secure & Trustworthy Human Identity Verification
Emanuela Marasco, Assistant Professor, Center for Secure Information Systems, received funding for the project: "EAGER: SaTC: Sweaty Digits: Bridging Chemistry and AI-Empowered Imaging for Secure and Trustworthy Human Identity Verification."
Marasco seeks to characterize a person's extrinsic and intrinsic features for a more accurate representation of their identity by exploiting selected compounds detectable in human sweat.
Sweat can provide a meticulous perspective on identity when scientists analyze its chemical properties.
To use sweat in biometric technology, though, one must first understand four aspects: i) how many metabolites are in a sample and how much sweat is required to detect them, ii) how they vary, iii) the optimal region(s) in a fingertip to extract the metabolites of interest, and iv) whether the deposited sample and the capture process are repeatable.
In this research, Marasco will investigate these four aspects using hyperspectral imaging (HSI).
Marasco received $200,000 from the National Science Foundation for this project. Funding began in July 2023 and will end in late June 2025.

For years, scholars, advocates and journalists have highlighted the ongoing racism and segregation in the housing market, yet a segment of the housing market — government-subsidized housing — has been overlooked, until now.
A new study from researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and other institutions is the first in decades to investigate racial inequality in the subsidized housing market. Using restricted 2017 American Housing Survey data provided by the U.S. Department ...

Amsterdam, Netherlands – 27 Aug 2023: A randomised trial involving all hospitals in London, UK, has found no difference in survival at 30 days in patients with resuscitated cardiac arrest in the community who were taken by ambulance to a cardiac arrest centre compared with those delivered to the geographically closest emergency department. That’s the finding of late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.1 The study also found no overall difference in neurological outcomes at discharge and at three months between groups.

Amsterdam, Netherlands – 27 Aug 2023: Acoramidis improves outcomes in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) compared with placebo, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.1
ATTR-CM is a rare, progressive, and fatal disease characterised by the accumulation of misfolded transthyretin protein in the heart. It causes an infiltrative, restrictive cardiomyopathy resulting in clinical heart failure, usually with preserved ejection fraction. Previously, the ATTR-ACT trial of tafamidis in ATTR-CM demonstrated ...

Amsterdam, Netherlands – 27 Aug 2023: Women with breast cancer are set to be enrolled in a clinical trial examining the ability of behavioural and psychological interventions to reduce the heart damage from anti-cancer therapies. The innovative CARDIOCARE project is being conducted by a consortium of European partners including the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
The latest updates from the project will be discussed on the ESC TV stage during ESC Congress,1 with further information provided in the Exchange ...

While radio waves emitted by radio and television broadcasting and CB radio can disrupt the magnetic compass of migratory birds, those used in mobile communication networks do not because the frequencies are too high to affect their sense of orientation. This was the key finding of a new study published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) by a team of researchers led by Professor Dr Henrik Mouritsen of the University of Oldenburg and Professor Dr Peter Hore of the University of Oxford (UK).
This finding also bolsters the researchers' theory that the magnetic compass sense in these birds is based on a quantum-mechanical ...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus swept across the globe at the beginning of 2020, and one of the earliest and hardest-hit areas of the United States was New Jersey.
Hackensack Meridian Health, the state’s largest and most comprehensive health network, played a major role in virus detection and tracking of the virus’s evolution and dynamics, due to the expertise of the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI), the network’s research institute.
Now the CDI experts ...

The MIT Press and UC Berkeley School of Public Health proudly announce the launch of Rapid Reviews\Infectious Diseases (RR\ID). Building on the accomplishments of Rapid Reviews\COVID-19 (RR\C19), the Rapid Reviews editorial team is now setting their sights even higher.
“RR\C19 launched at a critical moment in global history and we are incredibly proud of the impact the journal has had so far,” said Stefano Bertozzi, editor-in-chief of RR\ID and Professor of Health Policy and Management at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. “But when monkeypox started to spread in ...

Researchers from Radboud University and the UMC Utrecht have succeeded in transforming brain signals into audible speech. By decoding signals from the brain through a combination of implants and AI, they were able to predict the words people wanted to say with an accuracy of 92 to 100%. Their findings are published in the Journal of Neural Engineering this month.
The research indicates a promising development in the field of Brain-Computer Interfaces, according to lead author Julia Berezutskaya, researcher ...

When organisms pass their genes on to future generations, they include more than the code spelled out in DNA. Some also pass along chemical markers that instruct cells how to use that code. The passage of these markers to future generations is known as epigenetic inheritance. It’s particularly common in plants. So, significant findings here may have implications for agriculture, food supplies, and the environment.
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professors and HHMI Investigators Rob Martienssen and Leemor Joshua-Tor have been researching how plants pass along the markers that ...
