How do you make sense of thousands of research papers at once? For researchers, the challenge of keeping up with an ever-expanding body of literature can feel overwhelming. That’s where Vis-Sieve, a new prototype tool, comes in.

There are an estimated 37 million Americans with chronic kidney disease. Over 27 thousand Americans received transplants in 2024, with many more on the donor waiting list. The average transplant cost is close to $80,000 for Medicare patients. With numbers like these, it’s critical to improve outcomes and reduce overall costs. More data analysis on resource allocation, the risks for candidates and the viability of donor organs can help.

University Libraries Dean Shan Sutton arranged a tour of the Main Library for new President Suresh Garimella on April 23. The CATalyst Studios near the front doors make an impressive visual impact, especially when the large Viz Wall in the Data Studio has a display up.

At the University of Arizona, research is at the heart of innovation. It drives solutions to complex challenges, strengthens communities, and propels the university to its status as a top-ranked institution. From space exploration to healthcare, environmental science to artificial intelligence, the university’s commitment to research fuels groundbreaking discoveries that shape the future.

Dr. Elise Lauterbur’s work as an evolutionary ecologist highlights the impact of High Performance Computing (HPC) in advancing scientific research. Starting with behavioral ecology, she used HPC to study virus resilience in bats and viral adaptations in mammals, developing tools like Bayesian models and a convolutional neural network (CNN) for genomic analysis. Now a faculty member at the University of Vermont, Elise credits HPC for enabling her to explore complex biological questions in ways that were previously impossible, driving innovations in genomics and evolutionary biology.
