As part of their educational outreach efforts to universities, AMGEN scientists will present a series of lectures in workshops that will cover all aspects of the drug discovery process from A to Z.
Aakash Jhaveri will graduate with a master of science in Biotechnology and will receive the award for Outstanding Academic Accomplishment by a Master’s Student.
Brown researchers are creating lab-grown microtissues as an alternative to animal testing. “It's kind of in our DNA,” Morgan says. “And it's in the context of translating these results into real-world solutions.”

Visual art and brain science. While the number of intriguing combinations of study created by students at Brown are countless, few are as illustrative of how the University’s innovative curriculum encourages intellectual risk-taking and the integration of disparate academic fields. And the walls in the Carney Institute for Brain Science’s new state-of-the-art facility in the heart of College Hill are now bringing that to life.
Supported with a new grant of $6.3 million from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a team led by Brown University researchers will develop and test an “intelligent spinal interface” aimed at helping to restore limb movement and bladder control for people who have suffered spinal cord injuries.
Recent research led by David Borton, Ph.D and by teams in the U.S and Switzerland have shown that spinal cord stimulation can help in restoring voluntary muscle control after spinal injury, potentially aiding in rehabilitation.
This Fall New England Medical Innovation Center in Providence are offering a course free to RI based residents, students, and employees called the Med Tech Education Program. It is for early-stage entrepreneurs/ anyone who wants to learn how to develop a regulated medical device or digital health product, commercialize it, and lead a fundable Med Tech venture. They are a not-for-profit Med Tech Hub that supports entrepreneurs and startups commercialize regulated medical devices and digital health products and ultimately help them get funded.
Brown Biomedical Innovations to Impact awards BioTech Faculty Jeffrey Morgan, PhD and Carl Saab, PhD for their research projects to accelerate promising medical solutions into commercial technologies!
