ADHS, ASU announce partnership to increase COVID-19 testing in Arizona ASU will launch program to provide free saliva-based diagnostic testing for up to 100,000 Arizonans The Arizona Department of Health

An escalating arms race between disease-causing bacteria and the antibiotic weapons humans have designed to fight them, continues. Disturbingly, pathogenic microbes are often outwitting our best efforts, developing resistance to

In 2013, Arizona State University and Dublin City University signed a Transatlantic Higher Education Partnership, building on this history of collaboration and leveraging our complementary skills and cultural differences. The

Cryogenic electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) is a powerful technique capable of penetrating the mysteries of the molecular world at near atomic resolution. Along with X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

In 1996, Stephanie Forrest, director of the Biodesign Center for Biocomputing, Security and Society, co-authored the first paper to present a practical approach to automatically detecting cyber attacks against executing computer systems. Twenty-four years later, co-authors of the landmark paper—Steven Hofmeyr, Anil Somayaji, Thomas Longstaff along with Forrest—received the Test of Time Award at the virtual 41st IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy. The paper, titled A Sense of Self for.

Karen Anderson has found that reminding students of the big picture is key to their success. “Sometimes we lose sight of the big picture when we're in the details,” said Anderson,

In an effort to make COVID-19 diagnostic testing easier and more readily available to Arizonans, researchers at Arizona State University have developed the state’s first saliva-based test. “This new saliva-based test
