We used artificial intelligence methods to guide a search of a huge chemical space," said Prof. Aaron Esser-Kahn,
"In doing so, we found molecules with record-level performance that no human would have suggested we try. We're excited to share the blueprint for this process."

In a potential first for the field of vaccine design, machine learning guided the discovery of new immune pathway-enhancing molecules and found one particular small molecule that could outperform the best immunomodulators on the market.

Some nice work by @HojinKim_ on shear jamming piezoelectric particle suspensions. Some cool fundamental insights and using the jamming process to induce chemistry. Congrats! In collaboration with Heinrich Jaegar and @EsserKahnLab . @UChiMaterials @UChicagoPME @UChicagoPSD

Excited to share my latest work with @StuartJRowan,@EsserKahnLab on the role of friction in shear-thickening piezoelectric suspensions and exploring the potentials of shear-induced piezoelectric response for shear-stiffening materials, published in PNAS. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

When PME researchers added small molecules called immunomodulators to vaccines, they found the combined therapy could both increase antibodies and reduce inflammation, potentially leading to better vaccines with fewer side effects.
