A research team led by physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has proven a method that makes it possible to find the atomic structure of proteins in action by producing “snapshots” of them with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution.… Continue Reading »
UWM physicists’ technology used in early malaria detection
Researchers at Australia’s Monash University and the University of Melbourne came to Wisconsin to use unique imaging equipment created by UWM professor Carol Hirschmugl in order to investigate strategies for earlier diagnosis of the disease. The scientists say the novel … Continue Reading »
UWM physicists partner in $25M grant to image proteins
A team of five UWM physicists have received a portion (almost $4M) of a recent $25M National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for developing three-dimensional images of protein structure and motion. The grant award is being shared between UWM and seven … Continue Reading »
Dr. Carol Hirschmugl part of team developing “3D imaging of molecular chemistry”
Physics Professor Carol Hirschmugl was part of a collaborative team that combined Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with computed tomography (CT Scans) to create a 3D imaging technique that provides molecular-level chemical information of unprecedented detail with no need to … Continue Reading »
