Innovations in Functional B Cell Epitope Discovery for Food Allergy

NIAID - National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

The goal of the proposal is to obtain fundamental functional understanding of human B cell epitopes in food allergy and in response to oral immunotherapies for food allergy. The clinical and serological features of patients who have allergies to different foods suggest that there may be heterogeneity in allergen-specific B cell clones or antibody features for these allergens. This proposal will analyze the epitope targets of allergic patient B cell receptors and antibodies.

Innovative Amperometric Gas Sensors for Monitoring Post-Harvest Food Quality and Safety

FDA - Food and Drug Administration

Phase I Proposal: “GAS SENSORS FOR FOOD SAFETY AND ECONOMY IN THE FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN” Summary/Abstract The proposed work will provide advanced processing and material measurements [low-cost sensor nodes] that will have enormous impacts by improving the food safety for widespread societal benefit. Additionally, the economic benefit will be large - A reduction of the 15% estimated waste4.b by even 10% is this large volume industry will have a potential $15B impact! An opportunity exists to develop sensor nodes that monitor quality and safety of crops and produce, as well as reducing waste in several sectors of the food industry. Our work will start with gas sensors for ethylene, ozone and food odor gases. The most frequently used sensors in produce storage and transport processes include those for O2, CO2, and T, P, RH as well as the ripening phytohormone, ethylene. Ozone is used for ripening control as well as sterilization. In Phase II we will expand to additional safety and QA parameters that include odor indicators of spoilage [e.g., H2S, ammonia, and amines]. Currently, analysis of food related gasses, e.g. those for controlled atmosphere [CA] storage and shipping, is almost invariably performed with large instrumentation and/or cumbersome laboratory protocols. The opportunity exists to revolutionize how the food industry addresses yield, loss and safety in this industry. To illustrate our innovative approach to addressing this need, IE Sensors proposes development of an accurate and sensitive (<10 ppb DL), extremely low-power, real-time sensor to monitor ethylene in plant and produce processing, storage and transportation facilities. We will integrate the ethylene sensor with an ozone sensor of similar design to monitor atmosphere conditions (T,P,RH, O3, ethylene). In Phase II, we will add odor gasses as well as smart algorithms to evaluate freshness and quality of the food product. Our patented manufacturing technology at IE sensors allows for the creation of a complete line of low power EC sensors for the target gasses herein. The printed circuitry uses ASIC components that will be sourced in the USA and enable a SIP [system in package] approach that contains all three critical elements in one package: 1] sensing, 2] computation with AI/ML for accurate measurements and auto-calibration, and 3] telemetry for effective feedback of actionable information. The proposed work leverages recent gas sensor work and AI sensor systems developments and provides an opportunity to achieve the selective detection of critical gases like ethylene as well as design an innovative prototype sensor systems that will target the trillion dollar food industry. This SBIR research is both inventive [will result in patents for new sensor materials and designs] and innovative [providing integrated IoT enabled sensor modules with performance and cost advantages for customers in CA-storage and shipping, and eventually within the food supply chain]. 1

Innovative Approaches to Trauma Care

NIGMS - National Institute of General Medical Sciences

ABSTRACT The University of Minnesota (UMN) Innovative Approaches to Trauma Care Program will provide dual mentorship-based training to surgery residents, critical care fellows, and emergency medicine fellows in a broad variety of topic areas that relate to trauma and critical care. Trauma is the number one cause of death for people under the age of 46, and deaths are more likely to occur in less severely injured patients in rural settings compared to their urban counterparts. Major gaps and pressing questions in the area of optimal trauma care include 1) evaluating the effect of prehospital care interventions on patient-centered outcomes; 2) optimizing trauma/critically ill patient monitoring (e.g., wearable sensors, AI-assisted early warning systems, and prehospital telemedicine); 3) advancing innovative, patient-centric clinical trials targeting the leading causes of death and disability post-injury; and 4) developing novel solutions to improve rural trauma care. Physician scientists are uniquely positioned to create and lead interdisciplinary teams due to their broad network of health professionals and non-physician scientists. However, physician scientists are becoming exceedingly rare, with only 1.5% of active physicians currently funded by the NIH1. Our program will provide a research focused curriculum, access to high-quality mentors and collaborators, and provision of protected time, all critical to launching early career physician scientists. Curriculum: Our two-year program will consist of four tracks including 1) Clinical Trial Innovation, 2) Rural Trauma Care, 3) Trauma and Critical Care Outcomes, and 4) Translational Preclinical Research. The trainee project topic areas will broadly include trauma care, including: early resuscitation, wound infection and prevention, hemorrhagic shock, and prehospital interventions after severe injury. By the end of the fellowship, trainees will also receive a relevant Master's degree. Co-Directors, Mentors, and Collaborators: The Co-Directors of this program are physician scientists in Surgery and Emergency Medicine and leaders of the Translational Center for Resuscitative Trauma Care, a Center at the University of Minnesota Medical School that improves trauma care through the creation of technologies and knowledge products deployable by first responders and hospital-based healthcare workers. Mentorship within our program also features nationally and internationally recognized mentors in Acute Care Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Prehospital Emergency Care, Critical Care, and Biostatistics. Moreover, we have unique training opportunities related to rural trauma care (University of Minnesota-Duluth and Minnesota Department of Health), established linkage of prehospital data to outcomes for rapid hypothesis development and testing (eso and UMN-led database), and innovative emergency care clinical trial design development and leadership (SIREN network and UMN School of Public Health). We have strong collaborations with four Minnesota Level 1 trauma Centers with a combined total of more than 15,000 trauma admissions/year with active clinical trial activity that can be leveraged by our trainees.
