Cadets Present Work at CBD S&T Conference

Dr. Alex Mitropoulos from the Departments of Mathematical Sciences and Chemistry and Life Science attended the 2017 Chemical and Biological Defense Science & Technology (CBD S&T) conference in Long Beach, CA. The CBD S&T Conference was sponsored by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). CLS Faculty have received funding from DTRA to engineer a handheld cell-based bio-sensing platform to detect aerosolized chemicals. 2LT Dillon Macky ’17, CDT Jason Hug ’18, CDT Louie Klemm ’19, CDT Channah Mills ’20, CDT Liz Huuki ’20, and CDT Matt McDonough ’20 were authors on the poster, “Engineered olfactory receptors for chemical detection.”
