Nicholas A Giudice — Dr. Nicholas Giudice's lab at the University of Maine focuses on improving navigation for blind and visually impaired (BVI) individuals. Their primary project, MultiNav, aims to create an innovative, gamified navigation system that combines pre-journey learning with real-time assistance. The lab's work is centered on developing multisensory technology that can help BVI people navigate their environments more effectively and independently, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
Sally Molloy — Dr. Sally Molloy's lab at the University of Maine focuses on understanding how certain viruses, known as prophages, help mycobacteria resist antibiotics. This research is important because infections caused by drug-resistant mycobacteria present a major public health challenge. By investigating the mechanisms that these prophages use to alter gene expression and enhance bacterial survival, the lab aims to provide insights that could improve treatment options for resistant infections.
