The National Academy of Engineering elected former UT Austin biomedical engineering professor Christine Schmidt into their academy.
Tyrone Porter, Ph.D. is changing the future of precision medicine and modalities for brain health, while leading the way for people of color to climb the career ladder in a blossoming sector of academia.
For more than 200 years, computers have become an integral part of our daily lives and biomedical engineering is no exception. A far cry from the 19th Century mechanical calculating machines, biomedical engineering researchers use computers to tackle healthcare challenges and consequently improve the lives of patients.
For a second year in a row, the UT Austin Department of Biomedical Engineering received multiple seed grants from the Cockrell School of Engineering. The program, which is an initiative under the NSF-funded Center for Equity in Engineering, supports projects that aim to promote broadening participation in engineering.
UT Austin Professor Nicholas Peppas, Sc.D. is among a handful of prestigious researchers whose publications are featured in the inaugural issue of Nature Chemical Engineering. The article, A Bright Future in Medicine for Chemical Engineering, is co-authored with Professor Robert Langer, Sc.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The University of Texas at Austin Department of Biomedical Engineering is pleased to announce Qian Yin, Ph.D. as the newest addition to their group of prestigious faculty members.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring has been around since the 1920s and is widely used by researchers and medical practitioners alike. However, the standard technology is outdated and can be burdensome on the patient with unprecise recordings. UT Austin Biomedical Engineering researchers aim to change that with innovative research to improve EEG technology for sleep monitoring.
The Imaging Science & Informatics Predoctoral Training Program at UT Austin is a unique academic adventure, and its membership recently grew even larger. Six biomedical engineering graduate students are now a part of the prestigious program that includes summer externship opportunities and a clinical immersion experience.
In a collaborative research endeavor, UT Austin Department of Biomedical Engineering professors Janet Zoldan and Nicholas Peppas received a grant from the National Institutes of Health to spearhead the development of an in vitro hydrogel culturing system for the ex-vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cell lines.
UT Austin Department of Biomedical Engineering professors James Tunnell and Michael Sacks received the prestigious Best Paper Award from the Annals of Biomedical Engineering (ABME).
Sacks and Tunnell were co-authors of the paper, “Simultaneous Wide-Field Planar Strain–Fiber Orientation Distribution Measurement Using Polarized Spatial Domain Imaging,” along with three other researchers.
