As technology continues to permeate every aspect of our lives, our reliance on machines grows more profound. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seamlessly integrated into our daily routines, revolutionizing how we interact with technology and propelling technological advancements.
In this project, our scholars harness the power of Google Cloud Dialogflow to build and train AI chatbots modeled after influential figures in STEM history. Through these chatbots, you can engage in dynamic Q&A sessions, with the bot answering as if it were the STEM figures themselves! Explore our chatbots here.
Scholars venture into the realm of biomarker analysis utilizing the comprehensive resources of the Gene Expression Omnibus (G.E.O.) databases. Biomarkers, pivotal biological indicators, serve as guiding lights in the understanding of diseases like breast cancer, offering invaluable insights into patient health statuses and informing critical treatment decisions. By exploring G.E.O.'s extensive collection of gene expression profiles and molecular data, scholars can uncover the intricate connections between biomarkers and disease pathology. Armed with this knowledge, they hone essential research skills crucial for both clinical practice and laboratory endeavors. See their journeys here.
At Nvolve, we strive to amplify the diverse voices of our scholars as they unravel the stories shaping innovation. Students, empowered by the art of podcasting, share their unique insights and discoveries. Through engaging conversations and thought-provoking discussions, these budding innovators explore the realms of STEM, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs that drive progress through a multi-episode series on their topic of choice.
Each podcast series offers a glimpse into the boundless potential of our vibrant community. Celebrate their voices here.
Data visualization is the transformative process of converting complex information into visually digestible contexts. In today's data-rich landscape, there exists a significant disparity between the vast volume of generated data and our comprehension of it. However, with the proliferation of tools facilitating exploration of large datasets, opportunities emerge to discover insights that were once out of reach.
Using the power of Tableau, scholars craft dynamic data visualization dashboards. Through this hands-on approach, they cultivate the critical skill of harnessing and interpreting data, all while reinforcing hypotheses and driving meaningful conclusions. Discover more here.
Through meticulous planning, seamless integration, and rigorous testing, our scholars skillfully deploy an array of cutting-edge software solutions into Nvolve's existing infrastructure. They navigate the complexities of transitioning to these innovative systems from configuration to training, paving the way for enhanced efficiency and productivity within the IT ecosystem.
From identifying organizational needs to implementing tailored solutions, Nvolve scholars lead the optimization of our IT systems. Through dedication and innovation, our scholars propel Nvolve towards success. Witness their endeavors here.
Biology students with no prior coding experience learn to create insightful visualizations for complex biological data from scratch. These scholars develop foundational coding skills, learning to navigate the intricacies of programming with the popular language Python. By the end, students are able to handle and manipulate large datasets with code.
This addition to their skillset empowers them to contribute to the scientific community by presenting data in a clear and impactful manner, facilitating better decision-making and advancing research in the field of biology. Learn more here.
With a focus on the impact of COVID-19 on public health and clinical research, scholars design and code web-based surveys. Confronting the complexities of data analysis and interpretation, they gain a newfound appreciation for the pivotal role that research plays in advancing our understanding of disease, informing public health policy, and driving innovation in clinical practice.
Scholars dive into the intricate complexities of survey design through brainstorming, strategizing, and technical implementation, aiming to capture the nuanced experiences and perspectives of individuals navigating the unprecedented challenges brought about by the pandemic.
