A team led by Rohit Singh, PhD, has developed a computational technique that allows large language models to predict antibody structures more accurately. The work, which could aid in finding new treatments for infectious diseases, is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The Duke University Office of Research and Innovation has awarded nearly $2 million in seed grants to jumpstart new research ideas. Department of Cell Biology faculty member Amy Gladfelter, PhD, was one of the recipients, for her work to understand how pathogenic fungi adapt to temperature stress.

Twenty-three of the citation laureates are Duke scholars or had a Duke affiliation when the landmark works were created over the last decade.

Victoria Deneke, Postdoctoral Scholar at Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP), was a graduate student in Stefano Di Talia's lab in Cell Biology. Victoria is a lead author on a paper published in Cell on October 17, 2024 and highlighted in the New York Times and Nature.

A new $12.5 million National Science Foundation grant was awarded to Duke University School of Medicine researchers and colleagues to investigate biology common to cancer, agriculture, biodiversity and more.
