TECH TUESDAY: Check out Dr. Keun Seok Seo's Rapid Assay for Detecting Neutralizing Antibody Against Sars-Cov2 with Dr. Nogi Park and Dr. Joo Youn Park! WHAT: Rapid tests using chimeric proteins to distinguish antibodies and produces results in 30 minutes in a non-laboratory setting. HOW: The invention uses chimeric proteins: one fuses the spike protein's RBD with GFP for UV lamp visualization, and another fuses ACE2's extracellular domain with mouse immunoglobulin for specific SARS-CoV-2 detection. WHY: Aims to develop a test that determines if a person contains a neutralizing or non-neutralizing antibody against the SARS-Cov2 virus.

Happy holidays from the OTM team! 2024 has been an incredible year, filled with new connections, valuable partnerships, and exciting research collaborations. We are truly grateful for everyone who has been a part of our journey. As we look ahead to the New Year, we are excited to continue our work and build on the successes of 2024. Here's to a bright and prosperous 2025!

While Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi may be fierce rivals on the football field, our commitment to driving innovation and advancing the state of Mississippi unites us in remarkable ways. We are proud to announce that the collaborative efforts of Dr. Colleen Scott, Dr. Nathan Hammer, and Dr. Jared Delcamp have led to the successful patenting of groundbreaking NIR-II dyes. NIR-II dyes are highly sought after for their exceptional capabilities in deep tissue imaging of biomolecules. This innovative technology holds immense potential not only in the field of medical imaging but also in a variety of other applications. These include: •Lasers •Night vision cameras •Infrared sensors •Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) in the automotive industry •Laser protection eyewear •Light filters •Welding protectors •Eye tracking technology •Screen technology •Measuring technology This patent is a testament to what can be achieved when two leading institutions come together with a shared vision. By combining our expertise and resources, we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible and paving the way for future innovations that will benefit not only Mississippi but the world at large. Together, Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi are proving that collaboration can lead to extraordinary advancements. Our dedication to innovation and progress is unwavering, and we look forward to continuing to drive the state forward with our cutting-edge research and technological breakthroughs. Here's to a future where our rivalry fuels not just competition, but also collaboration and innovation for the greater good of Mississippi! #hailstate #msuotm #innovation #chemistry #NIRdye #mississippi #olemiss

The 4th annual AI in Agriculture conference is being hosted by Mississippi State University (MSU) and its Agricultural Autonomy Institute. The conference will run from Monday, March 31, through Wednesday, April 2, 2025. The theme of this 4th annual conference is "the role of AI in autonomous agricultural systems and socioeconomic effects," but abstracts from all fields of AI in agriculture are welcome. Oral abstract submission deadline is January 20, 2025. Click https://lnkd.in/g76Kyjq8 to submit. Join us as we seek to enhance the AI-in-agriculture research and technology community's knowledge of AI, share the work we are doing, and foster collaboration among U.S. university faculty, students, industry professionals, and stakeholders. Our goal is to improve food security and agricultural livelihoods through effective, efficient, and socio-economically mindful implementation of AI technology.

TECH TUESDAY: Check out Eric Anderson's Portable Osteometric Device with the Department of Anthropology and Middle Eastern Cultures at Mississippi State University! WHAT: A portable device using laser time-of-flight sensors to measure human skeletal material, especially bone length. HOW: It is made through 3D printing and uses laser sensors with time of flight to measure distance. WHY: Osteometric data helps anthropologists estimate sex, stature, and growth differences using bone measurements.

We are very proud of this crew!

At the recent BIO on the BAYOU conference, our Communications Manager, Aileen Dingus, MSE, had a chance to sit down and talk about the work we're doing with I-Corps and what it means to be part of the NSF I-Corps Hub: Southwest. (hint- it's great!)

TECH TUESDAY: Check out Dr. Colleen Scott's Bio-Based Self-Healing Adhesive with Nuwayo Eric Munyaneza! WHAT: A versatile bio-polymer adhesive that enhances durability, minimizes waste, and cuts costs for sustainable, long-term use. HOW: This adhesive is made from two monomers that support the bonding properties of the SHA and support the thermal and mechanical stability. WHY: It extends material lifespan, reduces waste, cost-effective, strongest SHA, and top self-healing bio-based adhesive.
