Dr. Manoj Mishra and Dr. Parul Dubey of Alabama State University's Cancer Research Center received $200,000 in pilot grants from The Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama. The grants, awarded in $50,000 increments over two years, support their breast cancer research projects. The BCRFA awarded over $1.1 million to 22 projects across seven Alabama institutions, aiming to advance breast cancer research and treatment.

Altair and Auburn University's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering collaborate on a $1.25 million AFWERX Phase II STTR contract to develop analytical models for cyclonic flows and study vortex engine stability, leveraging Altair® FlightStream™ for rapid performance predictions.

Altair and Auburn University's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering collaborate on a $1.25M AFWERX Phase II STTR contract to develop analytical and computational models for cyclonic flows and vortex engine stability. Altair's FlightStream, part of the HyperWorks platform, will be used to optimize vortex engine conditions and predict performance and acoustic signatures more efficiently.

Projects focus on converting seaweeds and algal biomass into low-carbon fuels, bioproducts, and agricultural bioproducts, aiming for significant GHG reductions.

The 2024 Platinum Performance/USEF Talent Search Finals - West concluded at Desert International Horse Park, with Avery Glynn winning on Change Up PS. Phase IV saw top four athletes compete in a ride-off, with Glynn earning the Denali Memorial Perpetual Trophy. Quiwian, ridden by Victoria Zahorik, received The Gulliver Trophy for best horse. Judges Kirsten Coe and Michael Tokaruk praised the athletes' performance.

HudsonAlpha Institute hosts “Cheers to Alabama Barley” on Nov. 7, discussing sustainability in agriculture with guest speakers from Auburn University and HudsonAlpha. Open to the public, farmers, and local FFA chapters, with food provided.

Dr. Bernardi's team at Auburn University developed a method combining AlphaFold2, molecular dynamics, and dynamic network analysis to predict PD-L1's key binding regions, validated by cross-linking mass spectrometry and next-generation sequencing. This approach, applicable to other proteins, could lead to new drug targets for various diseases and more cost-effective therapeutics.

Auburn University researchers, in collaboration with the University of Basel and ETH Zurich, developed an AI-integrated approach combining molecular dynamics simulations and network analysis to predict PD-L1 protein binding sites, accelerating personalized cancer treatment development.
