On the Feasibility of Machine Learning Algorithms Towards Low-Cost Flow Cytometry
(North Dakota State University, 2023-08-01)Utilization low cost, scalable architectures for detection of specific cells for both mass flow and minute incidence analysis is something that is attractive for the clinical researcher, in order to expand access to otherwise ... -
A Narrative Review and Longitudinal Data Analysis Method to Evaluate the Association Between Head and Neck Cancer and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The pathophysiological mechanisms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and head and neck cancers (HNCs) have not been fully investigated. Currently, investigating the relationship between HNCs and OSA is incomplete due to the ... -
Processing and Application of MXene (Ti3C2) for Plant Nutritional Stress Sensing
(North Dakota State University, 2023)Environmental stresses cause nutritional stresses which in turn lower crop yields, so understanding this complex relationship can improve crop growth and enable new precision farming methods. The aim of this study is to ... -
Noise Reduction of Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing for Improved Extracellular Vesicles Profiling in Cancer Detection
(North Dakota State University, 2022)EVs have much potential as sensitive, novel biomarkers because they represent the status of their cells of origin and can be used to detect cancer earlier than alternative biomarkers. The size of EVs can be determined by ... -
Wireless Wearable Device for the Acquisition of Bioelectrical Signals for Applications in Sleep Monitoring and Lucid Dream Induction
(North Dakota State University, 2021)The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommends at minimum seven hours of sleep per night, which means you would expect to spend a quarter of your lifetime asleep. Acute or chronic sleep deprivation can greatly ... -
Optimizing Silk Protein Production Using an Engineering Approach
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The acquisition of spider silk is a complex and costly process that restricts its availability. Increasing applications stemming from the biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors is driving the demand higher, necessitating ... -
Label-Free CD8+ T-cell Purification and Electroporation in Relation to CAR T-cell Therapy
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Immunotherapy is becoming recognized as a superior treatment for cancer. In recent years, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy is among the immunotherapies that has had growing success rates. CAR T-cell therapy takes ... -
Label Free Micro-RNA Biomarker Detection in Serum Samples for Potential Diagnosis Application at Point-of-Care Settings
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The number of new cancer cases is projected to rise to 23.6 million by 2030 according to the National Cancer Institute. Obesity & cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of death worldwide according to recent ...
