Auburn University researchers and collaborators discovered evidence that a key molecule involved in inflammation, interleukin-1, evolved much earlier than scientists previously thought. The researchers are uncovering new clues about the evolution of animal immune systems and potential connections to human health.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), one of the most significant diseases affecting white-tailed deer, has proven to be one of the most fatal neurological diseases threatening North America's wildlife populations. Once established in a deer population, it is extremely difficult to eliminate. An Auburn University disease ecologist and his colleagues have developed a new simulation modeling tool that can help identify captive facilities with undetected CWD, helping wildlife agencies target surveillance efforts and make more informed disease management decisions.
Auburn's College of Education is expanding its role as a leader in educational policy research and practice through the continued growth and influence of its Plains Research Consortium, an initiative that is translating rigorous scholarship into actionable insights for policymakers, educators and communities across Alabama and beyond.
From sculpting wood and designing powerplant control rooms to stitching high-end fashion, creative authenticity has guided Huckleberry Starnes '03 every step of the way.
Sathya Aakur, associate professor of computer science and software engineering, and Konstantinos Mykoniatis, associate professor of industrial and systems engineering, are developing artificial intelligence systems that monitor manufacturing tasks, identify potential problems and predict whether small errors are likely to create larger ones later in production.
Harbert Eminent Scholar Glenn Richey was named a Distinguished Fellow by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) for work that has shaped academic thought and industry practice. He also received the CSCMP Academic Giant award for his scholarship and Ph.D. student mentorship.
