Transfer of CO2 Into Organics by Au-Biofilm
Online Presentations | 01 Sep 2023 | Contributor(s): Ashley Fauss, Min Long, NEWT Center, Rice University
There is currently an increase in urbanization and deforestation causing an abrupt increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. This project focuses on reducing carbon emissions in an effort to mitigate the effects of climate change by utilizing a membrane biofilm reactor which diffuses the CO2 across...
UV-C Inhibition of Biofilm in Space Habitation Water Systems
Online Presentations | 01 Sep 2023 | Contributor(s): Milton Johnson, Ken Niimi, NEWT Center, Rice University
Bacterial biofilms occur everywhere water sources as present, including the international Space Station (ISS). These can lead to water contamination and potential health effects for astronauts. This study utilized an inexpensive and chemical free approach to sanitazing space habitats by...

This approach allowed the exploration of the use of Aluminum Nanocrystal's functionalized ligands in biomedicine utilizing cost effective procedures.
Food Web Differences in Primary Versus Secondary Growth in a Lowland Tropical Rainforest
Online Presentations | 31 Aug 2023 | Contributor(s): Patricia Juarez Swan, Annie Finneran, Rice University
Biodiversity of wildlife can be seen in interactions between species, such as predation. One way to understand predation between animals such as mammals and birds are food webs, which documents which animals eat each other. Understanding how humans can impact these food webs, and therefore the...
Cell Factory for Small Molecule Inducible Delivery of Low Dose IL-2
Online Presentations | 31 Aug 2023 | Contributor(s): Celsa Pachlhofer, Yafet Arefeayne, Rice University
Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases are characterized by insufficient regulatory T cells (Treg), which play a central role in maintaining peripheral tolerance, preventing autoimmunity, and limiting chronic inflammation. Treg cells depend on IL-2 for survival and maintenance of their...
