Thanks to Emory Health for highlighting our work on Schistosomiasis with Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH & Jishnu Das Researchers develop new tool for improved diagnosis of common tropical disease | Emory University | Atlanta GA news.emory.edu/stories/2024/1…

A Georgia Tech researcher is developing a machine learning-based test for schistosomiasis. Aniruddh Sarkar, asst. prof. at Coulter BME | Emory & Georgia Tech, combines fluid behavior and machine learning to catch infections earlier and with greater accuracy. Emory Health bit.ly/3Y8S8PL

In time for Halloween: Detecting 'vampire' (yes they're blood feeders indeed!) worms before they lay & start hatching eggs 🧛‍♂️🪱🥚👇

If you're attending Biomedical Engineering Society 2024 annual meeting, do come see us at one of our lab's 4 talks on biomarker discovery & point-of-care diagnostics & at the Innovations in Diagnostic Testing session tomorrow which I'll co-chair with Dr Donghui Zhu from @bmestonybrook. #BMES2024

Thanks for sharing @drjessilyn. Also serves the purpose of making me realize the most recent state of my rapidly receding hairline.🧑‍🦲😉

A tool created by Georgia Tech & Emory University researchers detects schistosomiasis much earlier, meaning faster treatment and better outcomes for the 250M+ people affected by the parasitic infection. How they use machine learning to spot the disease: bit.ly/4fhodMq

Tracking vampire 🧛‍♀️ worms 🪱 with machine learning − using #AI to diagnose schistosomiasis before the parasites causing it hatch in your #blood 🩸 🩸🦠!

New paper from our lab: A high-throughput chip & handheld 96-well 'plate reader' for direct electronic biomarker detection. Led by Spencer Zhang & Neda Rafat. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

If you're at ASTMH #TropMed24 do add our Systems Immunology of Tropical Diseases symposium (138) to your schedule for Sat Nov 16th. Speakers include Nadège Nziza, Dr Elizabeth Aitken & my co-chair Jishnu Das. Exciting talks across AI/ML, Malaria, TB & NTDs incl Schistosomiasis.

Excited to be at #TropMed24 in beautiful New Orleans! If you're here do come to our presentations: Sarah Ali's talk on HIV/TB co-infection (today @ 10.15!) & Pedro Marcal's 3 posters on Leprosy (with Jessica Fairley, MD, MPH), Schistosomiasis & Schisto/TB crosstalk (with Lisa Marie Cranmer).

Happening later this afternoon 👇. I know this venue has felt like a bit of a maze to me but we'll be in Hall I just past the poster hall (which is also Hall I but not the one we'll be in 😀) & just before the badge pickup.

Thank you UF BME for inviting & hosting me. I had a great time presenting our work & learning about all the cool work you do. Looking forward to the (hopefully many) collaborations this will ignite! Ivana Parker, PhD @AnaMaPorras Greg Hudalla @Cherie_Stabler

Passing the baton - or the PhD hood in this case - to the first PhD from our lab Coulter BME | Emory & Georgia Tech. Congratulations to the newly minted Dr Rudge! Reminded me of a rainy summer day many years back Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) but thankfully weather gods relented after just a slight shower yesterday.

New paper from the lab👇Congrats to Spencer Zhang (GT_BioE PhD student) and co-authors. Here we port our antibody-omics workflow to a easy-to-make (i.e. lithography-free) and easy-to-use (i.e. gravity/capillary flow driven) microfluidic chip. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

New NOA (phew!😀): MPI R21 with Lisa Marie Cranmer to use our antibody-omics platform for TB in children affected by HIV. Grateful for the support to continue and extend this important work. NIAID News NIH
