BATON ROUGE -- LSU researchers hope to revolutionize chronic disease management by teaching an artificial intelligence engine to analyze protein interactions, which are crucial to understanding what causes illnesses. "Proteins are the body's building blocks. All of us are nothing but a network of proteins," said Supratik Mukhopadhyay, a professor in the Center for Computation & Technology. "When normal protein interactions are disrupted, it can result in disease."

Future Use of Energy in Louisiana (FUEL), a statewide effort led by LSU with more than 50 public and private partners, has tapped energy innovation expert Michael Mazzola to lead the clean energy transition and decarbonize the state's industrial corridor. FUEL is the recipient of a historic NSF Engines grant that will provide up to $160 million to support Louisiana's energy industry, create jobs and develop the energy workforce.
