University of La Verne Receives $1 Million to Establish Endowed Chair in Computational Biology

Posted: Published on December 10th, 2014

La Verne, Calif. (PRWEB) December 09, 2014 The University of La Verne this month received a $1 million grant from the Fletcher Jones Foundation to recruit and fill an endowed chair faculty position in computational biology, allowing the University to expose its students to new approaches in biological research. An endowed chair brings significant recognition and visibility to the University and the Natural Science Department. La Verne plans to launch a nationwide search in 2015 to fill the position, and the professor selected will work with faculty from the Natural Science Department to develop new courses in biology. The first new course will be offered to junior and senior undergraduates in two years. The University will match the grant, bringing it to $2 million. The new position and curriculum made possible by this grant will expand the training and career opportunities we offer our students and further elevate the solid reputation of the sciences at the University of La Verne, said Dr. Christine Broussard, Chair of La Vernes Natural Science Division. Computational biology is a relatively new scientific discipline, involving a mix of biology and computer science. It provides new ways scientists can conduct research and analysis using large amounts … Continue reading →

A Crowd Of Scientists Finds A Better Way To Predict Seizures

Posted: Published on December 10th, 2014

Electrodes on the scalp can reveal electrical activity in the brain associated with seizures. Adrianna Williams/Corbis hide caption Electrodes on the scalp can reveal electrical activity in the brain associated with seizures. An online contest for data scientists has produced a great leap forward in efforts to predict when someone with epilepsy is going to have a seizure. The winning team used data on electrical activity in the brain to develop an algorithm that predicted seizures 82 percent of the time. That "blew the top off" previous efforts, says Brian Litt, a professor of neurology and bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania who helped oversee the competition. In the past, he says, researchers have struggled to find an algorithm that did better than chance. "This has real clinical potential," says Walter Koroshetz, acting director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a sponsor of the contest. "We'd like to develop therapies that come in when they are needed instead of people taking medicine all the time." Epilepsy, which is often compared to an electrical storm in the brain, affects nearly 1 percent of people worldwide. The most common treatment is medication, which can leave people feeling tired or … Continue reading →
