"Using our cell-free protein synthesis platforms, we can quickly functionally characterize enzymes and document their structure. We take this important basic research further by narrowing down the enzyme variants that have useful properties for advancing bioeconomy applications."
A team of @uwmadison.bsky.social scientists has developed an economically viable and environmentally friendly technique to bring spent lithium ion batteries back to life. #WisconsinInnovates
Congratulations to @ahnaskop.bsky.social and Anne Lynn Gillian-Daniel, who received the Bassam Z. Shakhashiri Public Science Engagement Award!
"Brian looks for enzymes that have evolved to harness them for new, industrial uses, like the deconstruction of biomass for use in biorenewable chemicals and fuels," says Jennifer Gottwald, WARF director of licensing.
Why work with WARF?
"This is my first invention disclosure with WARF and it has been so seamless. I have a few more in the pipeline, and I really enjoy working with Leah and all the support that I get from WARF," says Jinia Roy, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering.
Congratulations!

Congratulations to @morgridgeinstitute.bsky.social CEO Brad Schwartz on his retirement! He has been a terrific partner in advancing curiosity-driven research and innovation.
Meet John Garrett, associate professor of radiology and director of informatics, imaging sciences. His research combines machine learning, informatics and medical imaging to address pressing challenges in health care.
@uwmadison.bsky.social engineers have developed a new technology that can read a person's pulse, blood pressure and oxygen saturation remotely.
Unlike other remote biometric sensors, this hyperspectral imaging technology can operate in real-world, ambient-light conditions.
