NCSA was recognized by the HPCwire community for its outstanding work in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
Cassidy Bio, a biotechnology company developing the first AI-driven genomic foundation model to enhance the design of gene editing therapies, today announced its launch and the closing of an $8 million seed financing round. The company will use the funding to advance its platform, built as a holistic solution designed to bring precision, speed, and clinical confidence to the rapidly growing field of gene therapies.
Prof. Ayal Hendel, a leading researcher in genome editing and gene therapy at the Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences at Bar-Ilan University, serves as the Chief Scientific Officer at Cassidy Bio.
A NASA-funded effort that combines advanced 3-D printing, biodegradable materials and artificial intelligence to protect vulnerable coastal environments will be strengthened by the research of Dr. Chukwuzubelu Ufodike in Texas A&M University’s Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution.
Growing port congestion demands smarter management. In a new study, researchers developed a dynamic forecasting framework using real-time operation indicators from a two-stage queuing model to predict vessel turnaround time. Tested with data from Busan Port, the model achieved up to 28% higher accuracy than traditional methods. By improving berth planning and resource allocation, this approach can significantly enhance efficiency and reduce delays in global port operations.
Cumberland, B.C., was built on coal mining—both literally and practically. Thousands of workers were employed and millions of tonnes of coal were exported over 80 years before the mines were shuttered, leaving deep holes in the ground and a deeper void in the village’s economy. Thanks to a partnership with the University of Victoria-led Accelerating Community Energy Transformation (ACET) initiative, Cumberland is planning for a future built on clean energy that comes from the maze of abandoned mine shafts and extraction tunnels that snake beneath its streets.
