Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed sequences that control the process of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) data acquisition.
Capturing MRE data using single shot, echo planar imaging can quickly and non-invasively measure the stiffness of tissue. The subsequent image processing steps do not require off line computing, which improves the convenience of MRE in a clinical setting.

Dr. Andrew Smith from the University of Illinois has developed new quantum dots with a multidentate polymer coating that minimizes size while maintaining stability and improving efficiency of conjugation. Quantum dots are promising agents for cellular and molecular imaging, but their bulky organic coatings have limited their use in cells. Dr. Smith's quantum dots are small, stable, and can be conjugated to targeting molecules and purified easily.

Dr. Hergenrother from the University of IL has developed a novel antibiotic that is effective against certain antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria. His powerful predictive algorithm determines accumulation of molecules in Gram-negative bacteria and enables conversion of known Gram-positive only antibiotics into novel compounds with Gram-negative potency.
