A device for volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis from skin
This study presents a new skin sampling device that uses gentle heat and sorbent-based collection to improve recovery and consistency of skin-emitted VOCs, offering a promising noninvasive tool for clinical metabolite monitoring.
Bioreactor contamination monitoring using off-gassed VOCs
Researchers identified volatile organic compound (VOC) signatures that can rapidly and non-invasively detect microbial contamination in cell cultures—offering earlier detection than traditional methods.
USC Viterbi To Play Significant Role in New NSF Center Aimed at Insights on Pandemic Pre-emergence
USC will be a key contributor to the newly launched U.S. National Science Foundation Center for Pandemic Insights (CPI), offering expertise in machine learning and artificial intelligence used to characterize the animal-to-human interface that results in infectious diseases that jump from wildlife to people.
