Data science pairs with cancer research for better diagnostics, therapies

The next generation of treatments for cancer may be found, not by scientists peering through microscopes, but by computer scientists crunching numbers. Thanks to unprecedented amounts of data, Purdue University researchers from the College of Science are using innovative data science techniques to better understand the genetics and cellular biology of cancer cells and tumors.

Purdue plant biologists solve major cell puzzle on path to leaf engineering

Leaves are the primary plant organs responsible for photosynthesis. Their size, shape and angles — all affected by cell patterning and growth — can also expose more of their surface to the sun, increasing energy stores and grain production in crops.

Soaking up the sun: Artificial photosynthesis promises a clean, sustainable source of energy

Humans can do lots of things that plants can’t do. We can walk around, we can talk, we can hear and see and touch. But plants have one major advantage over humans: They can make energy directly from the sun.

Bring the outdoors in: The energy-efficient method for using 100% outdoor air in buildings

By now, it’s well known that circulating outdoor air in buildings is safer than recirculating indoor air. That point was driven home by the pandemic. Problem is, it’s just not cost-effective.
