FatPlants: A Comprehensive Website Platform of Plant Fat Related Genes, Proteins and Metabolism
Increasing seed oil content by plant breeding has resulted in trade-offs or penalties with respect to protein content, seed size, or seed set. The molecular basis for this impasse is mostly speculative. Use of current global profiling approaches to better…
Enhancing Health Equity of Aging-in-Place Older Adults with Sustainable Technology: Current Projects and Considerations to Data Science
We discuss the importance of sustainable technology in promoting health equity among aging-in-place older adults. We identify three key considerations necessary for the sustainability of technology in the health field, and examine ongoing projects that align with these considerations, including…

Uncovering CD137 Agonist’s Role in Cancer Immunoprotection via Interactive Multiomics Data Analytics and Visualization Portal
Anti-CD137 monoclonal antibody has been developed to improve anti-cancer immunity in several cancer models and are in clinical trials. SA-4-1BBL, a novel CD137 receptor agonist, has shown cancer immunoprevention in several tumor models as a single agent, yet an agonistic…
A Semi-Supervised Approach to Unobtrusively Predict Abnormality in Breathing Patterns Using Hydraulic Bed Sensor Data in Older Adults Aging-in-place
Shortness of breath is often considered to be a repercussion of aging in older adults due, as such respiratory illnesses like COPD or respiratory illnesses due to heart-related issues are often misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed or ignored at early stages. Continuous…
Developing a Web-based Interface of Sensor Technologies for Interventionists
The widespread adoption and growth of the consumer sensor technologies, including wearable and in-home sensors, present an opportunity for ambient monitoring of activities of daily living (ADLs) for health and behavioral intervention. Yet no open-source systems exist to incorporate disparate…
Artificial Intelligence in Disease Prediction using Real World Health Data: Trends, Challenges, and The Future
Recent years have seen significant progress in using artificial intelligence (AI) to develop disease prediction models, which have the potential to improve diagnosis precision, enable early disease prevention, streamline clinical decision making, and reduce healthcare costs. This progress has been…
Rural populations facilitate early SARS-CoV-2 evolution and transmission
In the United States, rural populations comprise 60 million individuals and suffer from high COVID-19 disease burdens. Despite this, surveillance efforts are biased toward urban centers. Consequently, how rurally circulating SARS-CoV-2 viruses contribute toward emerging variants remains unknown. In this study,…
Exploration of Obesity and Multimorbidity at a Single Academic Institution.
In the US, overweight and obese adults account for more than two-thirds of the total population. Obesity has been established as a risk factor in many chronic conditions; and chronic conditions account for seven out of the top 10 leading…
