Scholarly Works

MHC Matchmaker: An in silico based algorithm to analyze cross-species NHP, pig, and human MHC compatibility on the amino acid level.

Journal article Am J Transplant · June 2026 Xenotransplantation received US Food and Drug Administration approval for clinical trials in humans, and highly sensitized patients-those with antibodies against major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-are among the groups that stand to benefit. There is no ... Full text Link to item Cite

Prognostic Implications of Codon-Specific KRAS Mutations in Localized and Advanced Stages of Pancreatic Cancer.

Journal article JCO Precis Oncol · February 2026 PURPOSE: Although KRAS mutations represent the primary oncogenic driver in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the association between codon-specific alterations and patient outcomes remains poorly elucidated, largely because of a lack of data sets co ...

Process mapping as a framework to define critical care delivery steps in massive transfusion in trauma.

Journal article CJEM · June 2025 PURPOSE: The purpose of this quality improvement initiative was to use process mapping to identify the critical process steps for executing massive transfusion in trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock in an academic emergency department. Understanding the ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

CoSiDeX: A hyperspectral fluorescent protein resource for highly multiplexed imaging.

Preprint · May 14, 2025 Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have revolutionized spatiotemporal observations in biology. Yet, the design of multiplexed assays remains constrained by limited spectral characterization and palette validation. Although over 1,000 FPs have been catalogued, syst ...

Ambulatory Surgery Ensemble: Predicting Adult and Pediatric Same-Day Surgery Cases Across Specialties.

Journal article Ann Surg Open · March 2025 OBJECTIVE: To develop an ensemble model using case-posting data to predict which patients could be discharged on the day of surgery. BACKGROUND: Few models have predicted which surgeries are appropriate for day cases. Increasing the ratio of ambulatory sur ... Full text Link to item Cite

Nonlinear progression during the occult transition establishes cancer lethality.

Journal article Dis Model Mech · March 1, 2025 Cancer screening relies upon a linear model of neoplastic growth and progression. Yet, historical observations suggest that malignant progression is uncoupled from growth, which may explain the paradoxical increase in early-stage breast cancer detection wi ...

Modeling BK Virus Infection in Renal Transplant Recipients.

Journal article Viruses · December 31, 2024 Kidney transplant recipients require a lifelong protocol of immunosuppressive therapy to prevent graft rejection. However, these same medications leave them susceptible to opportunistic infections. One pathogen of particular concern is human polyomavirus 1 ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Allosensitisation in NHP results in cross-reactive anti-SLA antibodies not detected by a lymphocyte-based flow cytometry crossmatch.

Journal article HLA · July 2024 Xenotransplantation is a potential option for individuals for whom an acceptable human allograft is unavailable. Individuals with broadly reactive HLA antibodies due to prior exposure to foreign HLA are potential candidates for a clinical xenotransplant tr ... Full text Link to item Cite

On the stability of swarm consensus under noisy control

Journal article ASME 2011 Dynamic Systems and Control Conference and Bath ASME Symposium on Fluid Power and Motion Control Dscc 2011 · December 1, 2011 Representation of a swarm of independent robotic agents under graph-theoretic constructs allows for more formal analysis of convergence properties. We consider the local and global convergence behavior of an N-member swarm of agents in a modified consensus ... Full text Open Access Cite
