More than 260 women faculty in biomedical engineering call on NIH to address funding disparities that discriminate against Black scientists Read More
Alec Smith finds the mentors to support his growth, opportunities to master the art of differentiating stem cells into neuronal and skeletal muscle, and critical funding to propel his path to independence. Read More
With a Collaborative Science Award from the American Heart Association Jen Davis, Farid Moussavi-Harami , and Tom Daniel are on a mission to develop new tools to help cardiologists personalize treatments for certain heart diseases too. Read More
In reality show terms, Cole DeForest and his team manufacture tiny bio-worlds staged to mimic living systems, force an eclectic cast of cells to cohabitate, apply light, heat, and chemicals to stir up drama, then record it all with sophisticated monitoring equipment. What they see on the tiniest scales, could have major implications for medicine. Read More
Researchers hoping to create disease models or regenerate organs need systems that precisely mimic the degree of complexity found in the natural world. The Stevens Lab is helping to answer the call with a new system that regulates gene expression patterns using heat Read More
Every day, million of cars navigate a complex network of wide, straight highways, busy streets and avenues, and side roads that bend and curve in unpredictable patterns. Now a new 3D modeling tool will help scientists study even more complex traffic patterns at work in our blood vessels. Read More
Several years ago, Danny El-Nachef was given a mission to create a tool to observe and track how stem cells behaved during the earliest stages of human heart development. While the focus of the challenge was human biology, the x-factor in the solution came from the sea. Read More
