  • Memory B cell marker predicts long-lived antibody response to flu vaccine

    Memory B cell marker predicts long-lived antibody response to flu vaccine These effector memory B cells appear poised for a rapid serum antibody response upon secondary challenge one year later, and evidence shows that the cells in this subset differ from all previously described memory B cell subsets.

  • Bioinformatics Student Receives Blazer Fellowship

    Bioinformatics Student Receives Blazer Fellowship The UAB Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) graduate program has been the recipient of seven Blazer Fellowships in 2022, and a Bioinformatics student recently etched his name as a part of this notable accomplishment. Samuel Bharti, a college student from India, will be the first-ever Bioinformatics BME Ph.D. student to receive the Blazer Fellowship. As part of his fellowship, Bharti will receive assistance in payment for a two-year stipend, tuition, and health insurance. As an undergraduate student, he previously volunteered in providing assistance to Jake Chen, Ph.D., Professor of Genetics and Computer Science, for the publication of several papers since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. “Bioinformatics has progressed over the past three decades, from an in silico study of sequence, structure, and functional analysis, to   multi-omics and clinical data integration, AI/ML modeling to predict health outcomes, and engineering-based systems science simulation to understand causal relationships to diseases, Chen said. “Therefore, our PhD in Bioinformatics developed as a partnership between the School of Medicine and School of Medicine is well positioned to help train next-generation Academic leaders in this evolving interdisciplinary area.” The BME PhD program implements various elements of biology, medicine, and engineering, leading to potentially new discoveries in biomedical engineering[…]
