Special NewsBrief Feature: Laughing in the Face of Pain: Amy and Pat Tomasulo’s Fight Against Trigeminal Neuralgia

In our latest Innovation Insights feature, we spotlight Amy Tomasulo, who's revolutionizing her approach to managing trigeminal neuralgia, one of the most severe pain conditions known to medicine.

Key facts about trigeminal neuralgia:

- Rare neurological disorder affecting approximately 400,000 Americans
- Characterized by extreme, shock-like facial pain
- Often triggered by routine activities such as eating or speaking

Amy and her husband Pat have developed an unconventional coping mechanism: comedy. By transforming laughter from a potential pain trigger into a powerful management tool, they're challenging traditional approaches to chronic pain treatment.

This inspiring story showcases the potential for patient-driven innovation in healthcare. It reminds us that sometimes, the most effective solutions come from unexpected sources.

From Loop to the Lab: Chicago is Well-Positioned for Growth Despite Market Challenges

The latest EY Beyond Borders report highlights a stark contrast in the biotech industry. While scientific innovation is thriving, with advancements in cell therapies, gene editing, mRNA technology, and novel drug modalities, many biotechs face financial challenges due to a pullback in investor support.

Despite these obstacles, Chicago and Illinois are well-positioned to support the industry's growth. The region boasts a highly educated workforce, world-class research institutions, and growing lab infrastructure. Compared to crowded hubs like Boston and the Bay Area, Chicago offers more affordable lab space and access to diverse talent across scientific disciplines.

🍪 Exciting new tech from SIU that could help solve world hunger and plastic pollution at the same time! 🌍

Researchers have developed a system called μBites that can convert biomass and plastic waste into edible protein sources. This groundbreaking innovation turns two major environmental problems into a solution.

By repurposing plastic waste and other biomass that would otherwise end up in landfills or oceans, μBites creates a new sustainable food supply. The ingenious process extracts proteins and other nutrients, transforming trash into a valuable resource.

Not only does μBites help reduce plastic pollution and food insecurity, but it's a creative way to develop a circular economy. Waste streams become food streams in a closed loop of production and consumption.
