🔬 A window into the hidden world of immunity.

Vanderbilt School of Engineering researchers are using a human bone marrow-on-a-chip to study how antibody-producing cells move, interact and find the environments they need to survive.

Led by School of Engineering Dean Krish Roy, the research offers new insight into immune memory and could help advance our understanding of vaccines, immune aging and disease.

For decades, immunologists have known that the body’s most durable defenses depend on plasma cells, the antibody-producing cells responsible for long-term immune memory. Long after an infection has passed or a vaccine has been administered, these cells continue releasing protective antibodies,...

After nearly three decades of research in complex software-enabled systems, Vanderbilt University’s Institute for Software Integrated Systems is entering its next chapter with a new name: the Institute for Convergent Software Integrated Systems, or ICONS.

Founded in 1998, the institute has remained focused on understanding, engineering and operating complex systems that are safe, secure and resilient. What has changed is the nature of the systems themselves.

“Our mission has remained remarkably consistent, even as the technologies, systems and challenges around us have evolved,” said Sandeep Neema, director of ICONS and a professor of computer science and electrical and computer engineering. “The addition of ‘Convergent’ reflects how we work today—bringing together disciplines, perspectives and technologies that have historically stood apart to address increasingly complex problems in national security and society. ICONS builds on the strong foundation of our past while more clearly expressing our vision for the future.”
