Dr. Duane A. Mitchell has been selected to lead University of Florida Health Cancer Institute! 🩺

Dr. Mitchell has been named the next director of the UF Health Cancer Institute, effective Sept. 21. He is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in cancer immunotherapies and brain tumor treatments. He currently holds more than 25 patents for cancer therapeutics, highlighting how University of Florida innovations move from laboratory discoveries to real-world clinical solutions.

In his new role, he will guide the institute through its next phase of multidisciplinary growth at a pivotal moment, as it recently earned its National Cancer Institute designation in 2023.

Managing airborne dust and debris during automated cutting is a major challenge. Conventional single-stage collection systems can struggle with the high-velocity, turbulent airflow generated by cutting blades, allowing debris to escape the containment zone and contaminate surrounding equipment. 🧹

University of Florida researchers developed the Stepped Integrated Debris Management System (S-IDMS), a compact multi-chamber cyclone system designed to redirect blade-generated airflow and capture over 99% of debris without relying on powerful external suction.

By capturing wood dust and metal shavings at the source, S-IDMS has the potential to reduce worker exposure to harmful dust, protect robotic and CNC components from particulate contamination, and preserve materials for recycling.

09/02/2026

Measuring true electrochemical reactions and material properties is difficult because fluid motion and uneven edge growth often interfere with test results. Existing setups struggle to separate these outside factors from actual material behavior.

Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a microfluidic electrochemical cell that stops unwanted fluid flow and fixes edge errors. This design lets scientists study pure diffusion and measure metal surface energies with high accuracy.

This platform improves research for batteries, fuel cells, biosensors, and corrosion science. It provides reliable data for developing advanced materials and energy storage systems.

Dolly Parton’s legacy offers a compelling lesson in entrepreneurship.

She understood that creativity can be more than a single creation. By protecting her intellectual property and building strategically around her ideas, Parton turned creative work into lasting economic, cultural, and social impact. 🦋

That same principle is at the heart of UF Innovate Tech Licensing: helping University of Florida researchers recognize the potential of their discoveries, protect their intellectual property, and navigate the path from innovation to impact.

Manual handling of construction materials can lead to inefficiencies and inconsistent placement of wood and steel studs, creating challenges for robotic assembly. 🏗️

University of Florida researchers developed a fully autonomous material supply station (AMSS) for wood and steel studs that autonomously and mechanically enforces absolute positional and geometric precision before robotic pickup.

The compact, reconfigurable system uses adaptive mechanisms and sensor-based positioning to reliably store, align, and replenish studs while reducing system complexity and maintenance requirements.

After years in the making, this UF innovation is reaching Florida citrus growers. 🍊🌱

Florida company Soilcea is preparing to supply more than 300,000 citrus trees based on University of Florida technology after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved CarriCea T1, a new HLB-resistant rootstock that could help growers combat citrus greening.

The approval represents nearly a decade of collaboration between university researchers, technology transfer professionals and entrepreneurs to move an academic discovery from the laboratory to the marketplace.

Licensed through UF Innovate Tech Licensing, this milestone is a powerful example of what's possible when groundbreaking university research meets entrepreneurship and technology transfer.

Congratulations to Yianni Lagos and the entire Soilcea team, as well as everyone who helped bring this innovation from discovery to commercialization! 👏

Conventional 3D concrete printing typically deposits material layer-by-layer, creating planar interfaces that can compromise a structure's mechanical performance. 🏗️

University of Florida's Chaofeng Wang, Ph.D., developed a 3D concrete printing system that uses a continuous spiral deposition trajectory to create mechanically interlocked, monolithic structures.

By eliminating planar failure boundaries, this innovative technique improves flexural strength by up to 97.3% compared with conventional printing, delivering stronger, more durable printed concrete without relying on reinforcements or complex geometries.

What if crops could make better use of the nitrogen already around them? 🌱

Most major crops can't naturally capture atmospheric nitrogen, leaving farmers reliant on synthetic fertilizers that can be costly and have environmental impacts.

University of Florida researchers have identified two key regulators, MtHK1 and LRP1, that can activate early root development and induce nodule structures in plants that do not naturally form them. When co-expressed, the MtHK1-LRP1 gene module can induce nodule structures without external cytokinin treatment.

This modular technology offers a new approach for engineering the early stages of biological nitrogen fixation in non-legume crops, with potential to reduce reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizer.

Can targeting two proteins at once help fight aggressive leukemia?

University of Florida researchers have developed a new PROTAC drug that targets two proteins, IKKβ and NR4A1, that help certain forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) grow and survive.

The drug killed leukemia cells in human samples and mouse models, offering a promising new approach for aggressive AML. The team has patented the original PROTAC and is developing more specific IKKβ degraders to advance the technology toward future clinical use.
