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 However, the standard technology is outdated and can be burdensome on the patient with unprecise recordings.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).
