A new imaging technique opens a path toward long-term study of blood vessels in aging brains and could help predict neurodegenerative diseases decades before symptoms begin.
Kiara Lee will graduate with a doctoral degree in Biomedical Engineering and a master’s degree in Global Public health, which she earned through the Open Graduate Education Program. Her dissertation, Leveraging Biotransport Mechanisms in the Design of Technologies to Improve Access to Blood-Based Diagnostics, was selected for the Joukowsky Prize in the life sciences.
BME and econ concentrator Moksh Mehta '26 and psychology and physics concentrator Vini Rupchandani '24 are working on Irada, a mobile application that creates a personalized Ikigai - a Japanese concept referring to the union of passion, mission, profession, and vocation - profile and allows users to set ‘Ikigoals’ using behavioral change techniques and social incentives.
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.
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.
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.
The Excellence in Teaching in Engineering Award is presented to a faculty member in the School of Engineering in recognition of outstanding classroom teaching of undergraduate and/or graduate students. Srivastava, the Howard M. Reisman ’76, P’09 Assistant Professor of Engineering, teaches Analytical Modeling for Biomechanical and Biomedical Systems (ENGN 2911R) in the fall and Biomechanics (ENGN 1210) in the spring.
