The proposed Seed Award project is rooted in the biomechanics of tissue and scaffold engineering and stems from our ongoing work to develop a robust regenerative therapy for the heart after injury caused by a heart attack, or myocardial infarction (MI).
Intelligent Spine Interface (ISI) researchers David Borton, Ph.D, and Jared Fridley, M.D., presented their research to the U.S. Congress at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) 2023 Demo Day. Researchers presented their work in Washington, D.C. on April 18 to the U.S. Senate and on April 19 to the U.S. House of Representatives.
Usherwood is currently a Ph.D. student in medical engineering and medical physics at the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology.
By adding artificial intelligence models to the existing closed-loop technology, Lee and Asaad seek to first predict and then address multiple symptoms of Parkinson’s all at once and on a rapid timescale. Laiwalla's novel technology has the potential to enable access to visual processing in an unprecedented way and is anticipated to transform how we address profound visual impairment.
Cel Welch, a Brown biomedical engineering Ph.D. candidate, has been named to the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Future Leaders program. Welch is one of 35 elite Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scholars to receive the prestigious award that supports the growth of science leadership potential of early-career scientists.
A team of biomedical engineers in the Tripathi Lab for Microfluidic Diagnostics & Biomedical Engineering at the University published a paper last month detailing the results of a two-year study that developed a more efficient technique to detect the level of antidepressants in biological samples.
With successful completion of this proposal, the Coulombe lab will be able to advance a mechanically robust engineered cardiac tissue therapy for translational applications.
The work by a research team made up of Brown PhD candidate Ramisa Fariha ScM'20, Prutha Deshpande ScM'22, and undergraduate students Mohannad Jabrah '22, Oluwanifemi David Okoh '25, Emma Rothkopf '23, and Adam Spooner '23 addresses a critical biomedical need and has the potential to be widely adapted by clinicians to monitor antidepressants in patients.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) was founded in 2015 to help solve some of society’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease and improving education, to addressing the needs of our local communities. CZI's imaging program aims to "support the development of new tools or significant enhancements of existing tools to monitor biological processes in motion, across time, and across spatial scales.” One of this year’s grantees is Ahmed Abdelfattah, assistant professor of Brain Science and assistant professor in the Department of Neuroscience for his project “High-speed Volumetric Voltage Imaging.”
Welcome Achilles, Sam, and Sanjana! Congratulations Dr. Minor, Cassi, Priyanka, Braxton, Shawn, Prateek, Brandon, and Riley!
