Rutgers Venus® Dogwoods

Venus® is a distinct variety of Dogwoods, a result of crossing two varieties (Cornus kousa x Cornus nuttallii hybrid and Cornus kousa). Its large, creamy white flowers almost completely cover the tree and develop bracts above six inches in size. Attractive, strawberry-like fruit are also produced, and leaf colors range from a glossy dark green in the summer months to extensive yellow, green, and red coloring during the fall months. It features the largest floral bracts ever found on a dogwood and has a reputation for good tolerance of drought conditions.

Novel diagnostic biomarkers for MIS-C in children

Novel diagnostic and prognostic semiquantitative plasma biomarker detection in children suspected to have MIS-C leads to improved assessment of disease severity and better patient outcomes.

Polyelectrolyte Complexes for Promoting Wound Healing

PEC films with a unique composition of biomaterials (chitosan and polygalacturonic acid) promote wound healing and hair growth in patients suffering from chronic diabetic wounds and hair loss.

Finite Element-Physics-Informed Neural Network

A framework that can train surrogate models which solve 100-10,000 times faster than FEM solver. Solves complex problems in solid and fluid mechanics, electromagnetic radiation, heat transfer.

Method to induce resistance to soybean cyst nematode

Simple, economical, chemical-free, eco-friendly, non-toxic method for inducing resistance to soybean cyst nematode by using root-specific RNAi technology. Transgene expressed in the non-edible part of the plant.
