A new publication from Dr. Bo Mi Lee, Dr. Ameen Eetemadi, and Dr. Ilias Tagkopoulos, about Reduced graphene oxide-metalloporphyrin sensors for human breath screening. Abstract: The objective of this study is to validate reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-based volatile organic compounds (VOC) sensors, assembled by simple and low-cost manufacturing, for the detection of disease-related VOCs in […]
A new publication from collaborators and our lab members, Dr. Erol S. Kavvas, Dr. Xiaokang Wang, and Dr. Ilias Tagkopoulos, about Adaptive laboratory evolution for improved tolerance of isobutyl acetate in Escherichia coli. Abstract: Previously, Escherichia coli was engineered to produce isobutyl acetate (IBA). Titers greater than the toxicity threshold (3 g/L) were achieved by using layer-assisted production. […]
A new publication from collaborators and our lab members, Jaesung Youn and Dr. Tagkopoulos, about Integration of statistical inferences and machine learning algorithms for prediction of metritis cure in dairy cows. Abstract: The study’s objectives were to identify cow-level and environmental factors associated with metritis cure to predict metritis cure using traditional statistics and machine […]
Ameen graduates with a Ph.D. in Computer Science with a designated emphasis in biotechnology, specializing areas of machine learning, bioinformatics, and computational biology on Jul 26th, 2021! Congratulations to Dr. Eetemadi! Wish you a new journey filled with success!
A new publication from Dr. Beatriz Merchel Piovesan Pereira, Muhammad Adil Salim, Dr. Navneet Rai, and Dr. Ilias Tagkopoulos about Tolerance to glutaraldehyde in Escherichia coli mediated by overexpression of the aldehyde reductase YqhD by YqhC. Abstract: Glutaraldehyde is a widely used biocide on the market for about 50 years. Despite its broad application, several reports on the emergence of bacterial […]
A new publication from Dr. Ki-Jo Kim, Dr. Su-Jin Moon, Dr. Kyung-Su Park, and Dr. Ilias Tagkopoulos about drug effects modeling on disease module in systemic sclerosis. Abstract: The network-based proximity between drug targets and disease genes can provide novel insights regarding the repercussions, interplay, and repositioning of drugs in the context of disease. Current […]
A new publication from Dr. Beatriz Pereira, Dr. Xiaokang Wang, and Dr. Ilias Tagkopoulos about the response of Escherichia coli to biocides (antiseptics and disinfectants) after adaptive laboratory evolution. The work explores the differences between biocides when selecting for mutations in the E. coli genome, their effect on biofilm formation, biocide, and antibiotic susceptibility. Reference: Pereira, Beatriz Merchel Piovesan, […]

A new Clinical Nutrition article by Ameen Eetemadi and Professor Ilias Tagkopoulos investigating the role of the gut microbiome in dietary treatments for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We integrated and analyzed raw microbiome data from multiple IBS studies and showed for the first time that methane and fatty acid metabolism pathways are predictive of Low-FODMAP […]
