Amy Brock, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, was recently named a 2019 Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) Innovation Award Finalist.
Lan Luan, a research assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, is leading a study to understand the pathological impacts of ministrokes on the brain.
Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new noninvasive technique for simulating repairs to the heart’s mitral valve with levels of accuracy reliable enough for use in a clinical setting.
Peppas is recognized for establishing the quantitative principles for describing drug release from porous matrices and hydrogels, and his subsequent work in biomaterials and bionanotechnology, which have spawned many biomedical breakthroughs.
To study mitral valve disease and repair, researchers in the Willerson Center for Cardiovascular Modeling and Simulation developed a novel, noninvasive computational method to estimate mitral valve leaflet in‐plane strains from clinical‐quality, realtime three‐dimensional echocardiography images. Their work was featured on the cover of Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering journal.
David Miller, a postdoctoral research fellow working with Professor Andrew Dunn, is a first prize recipient of the Baxter Young Investigator Award for his work related to the visualization of blood flow during surgery.
As the first BME student to receive this scholarship, Alex Chiu will have the opportunity to study abroad in Porto, Portugal and take International Perspectives on Biomedical Engineering Design with Dr. Mia Markey.
Jenny Jiang, an associate professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering’s Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Dell Medical School’s Department of Oncology, has been awarded a $2.5 million grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) to participate in the philanthropic organization’s inaugural Neurodegeneration Challenge Network.
A new technology that identifies disease-related antigens and T cells that could potentially destroy them could speed the development of new therapies to treat diseases as diverse as influenza and cancer.
He has received the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists’ Distinguished Award for pioneering work in protein and drug transport and release from polymer systems.
