Steve Maren, a neuroscientist who studies the neurobiology of emotional learning and memory, will become the next director of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
One seeded project will investigate the genetic basis of altered behavior and brain function related to autism spectrum disorder, while the other project aims to explore how collagen dysfunction affects tissue structure and function.
Inspired by cicada wings, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology study the insects’ antimicrobial properties to develop new antibacterial surfaces.
The Speech Accessibility Project is partnering with several organizations who serve people with cerebral palsy as it recruits more participants for its speech recognition technology work. They include ADAPT Community Network, the Cerebral Palsy Foundation and CP Unlimited.
Genetics, brain imaging and personal experience inform a new way to describe how autism looks and feels in individuals. The Beckman researchers behind this method — Stephanie Ceman, Laura Hetrick and Tracey Wszalek — nicknamed their interdisciplinary team The Mutual Admiration Society. The research takes place at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Interdisciplinary researchers in Illinois, the U.S. and around the world can advance their projects with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology's new Zeiss Xradia 630 Versa micro-CT scanner, the first of its kind with life science applications in the U.S.
The Speech Accessibility Project, which aims to make automatic speech recognition technology more accessible to people with speech differences and disabilities, is now sharing some of its voice recordings and related data with universities, nonprofits and companies.
The Speech Accessibility Project, which aims to train voice recognition technologies to understand people with diverse speech patterns and disabilities, is recruiting U.S. and Puerto Rican adults with cerebral palsy.

Researchers at the Beckman Institute developed an artificial intelligence model that can accurately identify tumors and diseases in medical images. The tool draws a map to explain each diagnosis, helping doctors follow its line of reasoning, check for accuracy, and explain the results to patients.
Supported by a $2 million R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health, the Auerbach Lab at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology will examine how different genes associated with autism spectrum disorders may similarly impact our brain’s neurons, resulting in heightened sensitivity to sounds.

Beckman researchers and collaborators received $3 million from the U.S. National Institute on Aging to develop diagnostic tools and imaging agents for the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease.
The Speech Accessibility Project has begun recruiting U.S. and Puerto Rican adults who have had a stroke.
