Novel Cancer Treatment From Georgia State Research and Da Zen Theranostics Advances to Next Stage of Clinical Trials

Novel Cancer Treatment From Georgia State Research and Da Zen Theranostics Advances to Next Stage of Clinical Trials

A Georgia State University startup company focused on developing cancer-fighting tools and treatments is making new strides by advancing its technology to the next phase of clinical trials.

Georgia State’s Office of Technology Transfer reports that Da Zen Theranostics is preparing an innovation known as DZ-002 for its next significant milestone, with Phase II clinical trials set to begin in early 2025.

Developed through Georgia State, Emory University and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, DZ-002 aims to improve cancer patient survival rates and quality of life. This technology delivers anticancer drugs exclusively to cancer cells using a cancer-targeting dye carrier, and improves tumor diagnosis, detection and treatment by employing imaging dye-drug conjugates.

Georgia State Researchers Uncover New Ways to Identify Signatures of Mental Disorders Using fMRI Scans

Georgia State Researchers Uncover New Ways to Identify Signatures of Mental Disorders Using fMRI Scans

New research by a team at Georgia State University is uncovering surprising insights about brain pathways that could offer alternative ways for practitioners to identify early signs of schizophrenia. The research is published in the journal Nature Mental Health.

The study identifies connections that show unique spatial variation across the brain and enhanced sensitivity in the brains of patients with schizophrenia.

Research: Georgia State Bioinformatics Faculty Introduces In-Home, Robotic Stroke Rehabilitation Intervention

Research: Georgia State Bioinformatics Faculty Introduces In-Home, Robotic Stroke Rehabilitation Intervention

Russell Jeter, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, has introduced a unique in-home stroke rehabilitation robotic device that improves the range of motion of a recovering stroke patient, and autonomously classifies a patient’s level of stroke residual severity.

Most stroke patients attend physical and occupational therapy involving stretches and repetitive exercises to improve motor control. Some also perform cognitive drills to improve memory, vision and speech – but all of these treatments can be expensive and difficult to navigate. This technology helps to meet these challenges while providing responsive therapy that meets the patient’s needs as they change.

Georgia State Celebrates RISE Research Success

Georgia State Celebrates RISE Research Success

More than 100 researchers, post docs and graduate students from across Georgia State joined university leaders Oct. 29 for the RISE Success Forum celebrating research progress made possible through the Research Innovation and Scholarly Excellence challenge, or Project RISE.

Starting in 2022, RISE provided $2.5 million in internal grant funding to GSU researchers to support transformative projects in four cross-cutting research hubs and four seed grant categories. The projects were designed to bring together some of the top scholars in fields as diverse as astronomy, criminal justice, neuroscience, law and virology, along with key government agencies, private industry, foundations, nonprofits and philanthropic sponsors. The overall goal was to gain new knowledge that can deliver real-world impact.

Research & Scholarship: Examining Moral Injury

Research & Scholarship: Examining Moral Injury

When a healthcare worker must decide which patient gets the last ventilator, or when a journalist witnesses tragedy but can’t intervene, they may experience what experts call “moral injury.” Moral injury is a type of trauma that occurs when someone witnesses or participates in events that challenge their deepest moral beliefs.

“Moral Injury and the Humanities: Interdisciplinary Perspectives,” co-edited by Georgia State’s Andrew I. Cohen and Kathryn McClymond, president of Oglethorpe University and former associate dean of faculty affairs for Georgia State’s College of Arts & Sciences, brings together 14 original essays about moral injury from leading interdisciplinary scholars across the humanities and social sciences.

Research Finds Homeowners Use Credit Strategically to Recover from Hurricanes

Research Finds Homeowners Use Credit Strategically to Recover from Hurricanes

Even with insurance and government aid, the financial strain can be overwhelming. So, how are homeowners managing to rebuild their lives?

New research by Alejandro del Valle and Stephen Shore of Robinson’s Greenberg School of Risk Science and Tess Scharlemann of the Federal Reserve Board explored this question by examining the financial responses of households to the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey.

Their research, recently published in the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, reveals that many homeowners strategically used credit to manage recovery costs while avoiding high-interest debt.
