What can RNA tell us about the origins of life? New research led by Priya R. Banerjee, Twentieth Century Club Professor of physics, explores how RNA forms liquid-like droplets, offering clues to the molecular processes that may have helped spark early life. arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/news-and-eve...

RNA droplets may have helped start life on Earth. UB study explains why they form

UB-led research reveals that a tiny chemical difference between RNA and DNA helps explain why RNA more readily organizes into droplets when temperatures rise.

AI is now integral to daily life, but can it assist communities in crises? Researchers at UBSEAS are exploring AI's role in aiding communities during emergencies. A study by #UBuffalo faculty, outlines an early warning system to track housing evictions. ubseas.info/4qiwExu

Study: UB researchers create early warning system to monitor housing evictions

The tool, from the Department of AI and Society, aims to help human service agencies  respond faster during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
