SwRI and UTSA will create synthetic process for antibiotic drug discovery

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is collaborating with The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) to explore and develop a novel platform or chemical process for synthesizing antibiotic compounds with a $125,000 grant. The project, one of two winning proposals this cycle, is supported by the Connecting through Research Partnerships (Connect) program designed to foster collaboration between SwRI and UTSA.

SwRI develops tool to predict osteoporotic fracture risk

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed new technology to enhance clinical bone imaging and decrease osteoporotic fractures in the elderly. The tool, described in a new SwRI-led study, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create super-resolution images showing the inner structures of bones in great detail to better determine risk for fracture.

SwRI found that in almost all cases, the super-resolution (SR)-enhanced images were more accurate than X-rays or CT scans in quantifying bone characteristics that are indicative of strength and fracture risk.
