Longtime engineering professor Roger Marchant passes away
Services will be held on campus this Saturday in memory of longtime biomedical engineering professor Roger Marchant, who died last week at the age of 62. Marchant, who earned his master’s and doctoral degrees at ӰƵ, spent his entire professional career at the university. In additi...
Biomedical engineering's Eben Alsberg appointed to editorial boards, academic society
Eben Alsberg, associate professor of biomedical engineering, recently was selected to the editorial board of Tissue Engineering, a leading journal in his field, and Nature Scientific Reports. He also was elected to the Americas Council of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Internation...
Researchers receive grant to build complex polymer nanostructures on plant virus scaffolds
Researchers at ӰƵ have received a $540,000 federal grant to devise methods for building minute structures tailored to precisely deliver medicines to tumors or carry dyes that help imaging technologies detect disease, create more efficient nanowires and nanoelectronics, a...
5 questions with…TEDx speaker, biomedical engineer Megan Moynahan
Megan Moynahan’s early interest in biomedical engineering stemmed from an article she read in a science magazine about bionic people and the idea of artificial organs and limbs. As a 14-year-old, she wrote letters to researchers to help her replicate a famous experiment by physicist Luigi Galvani f...
CWRU researchers use nanotechnology to fight aggressive cancers
Researchers at ӰƵ have received two grants totaling nearly $1.7 million to build nanoparticles that seek and destroy metastases too small to be detected with current technologies. They are targeting aggressive cancers that persist through traditional chemotherapy and ca...
5 questions with…biomedical engineering faculty member, race car driver Cameron McIntyre
Like anyone else, Cameron McIntyre likes to unwind after a long week in the office or, in his case, the lab. However, his idea of relaxing doesn’t involve the calm of a golf course or ballgame; rather, he prefers a seat behind the steering wheel of a race car, taking hairpin turns at breakneck speed...
Biomedical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science chairs named
ӰƵ has appointed Robert F. Kirsch chairman of the biomedical engineering department and Kenneth A. Loparo chairman of the electrical engineering and computer science department. Kirsch and Loparo are prolific researchers, proven leaders among their peers and consistentl...
Stanford professor to present annual Ford Distinguished Lecture today
The ӰƵ community is invited to attend Thursday's Ford Distinguished Lecture featuring Karl Deisseroth, the D.H. Chen Professor of Bioengineering and Psychiatry at Stanford University. Deisseroth will present his lecture, “Optical Deconstruction of Fully Assembled Biolog...
Signal gradients in 3-D guide stem cell behavior; could help repair damaged tissues and organs
Scientists know that physical and biochemical signals guide stem cells to become muscle, blood vessels or bone. But the exact recipes to produce the desired tissues have proved elusive. Now, researchers at ӰƵ and Washington University School of Medicine have taken a ste...
Biomedical engineering’s Anant Madabhushi to serve on editorial board for new “Journal on Medical Imaging”
The Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers appointed Anant Madabhushi, associate professor of biomedical engineering, associate editor for the soon-to-be-launched Journal on Medical Imaging. The Journal on Medical Imaging will publish high-quality peer-reviewed papers on fundamental and...
