At the Nonproliferation, Counterproliferation, and Disarmament Science Gordon Research Conference, researchers from PNNL shared research and scientific approaches for countering diverse threats.

The Rapid Assessment of Platform Technologies to Expedite Response project aims to prepare against future pandemics.

PNNL recently joined the Department of Homeland Security for two technical meetings exploring national security research spanning the threat realm, from chemical and biological attacks to adversarial artificial intelligence.

PNNL’s wide-ranging report maps the current nanobiotechnology landscape, flags potential concerns, and details the need for an organizing body to coordinate currently disparate disciplines.

The ChemSpace Tool, when fully developed, is intended to divide chemical space into three subsets: the detectable space, the identifiable space, and the region that includes compounds that are not detectable or identifiable.

Methods review suggests ways to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to handle missing data when integrating two or more omics approaches.

PNNL chemist Christopher Anderton recently named president-elect of the Imaging Mass Spectrometry Society (IMSS). In this new position, he will help lead the merge of IMSS with a European-based society, currently underway.

Bobbie-Jo Webb-Robertson is a leader with a PhD in decision sciences & engineering systems from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and experience in managing complex scientific programs and line organizations. She assumed the role 3/13/23.

Gosline works to develop computational algorithms that are uniquely targeted for rare disease work by doing foundational research in model system development. This work can be expanded to all model systems in human disease.

Data-driven autonomous technology to rapidly design and deliver antiviral interventions targeting SARS-CoV-2 to reduce drug discovery timeline and advance bio preparedness capabilities.

A paper by PNNL researchers has been chosen as one of 32 NIEHS Papers of the Year—a top 1% honor in the research field.

Microbes that were previously frozen in soils are becoming more active. This study demonstrates the diverse RNA viral communities found in thawed permafrost.

Findings show method to better prepare human lung tissue for study; it represents the latest mass spectrometry-based omics advances.

New PNNL research makes it easier to differentiate between chemical and nuclear explosions.

New research findings published in Science Advances (November 2022), help explain the progression of Alzheimer-related dementia in each patient. The findings outline a biological classification system that predicts disease severity.

PNNL researchers created rugged, adaptable, mass-manufacturable luminescent particle tracers for use in harsh environments.

Silicone wristbands could be more convenient option for collecting exposure data.

PNNL researchers use machine learning and data analytics to assist with detection of nuclear proliferation and nuclear material trafficking.

Scientists can detect the virus that causes COVID-19 by using a bubble that spills its contents like a piñata when encountering the virus.

We are pleased to welcome 20 new joint appointees to PNNL.
