University researchers and staff critical of proposal to ban use of fetal tissue in key biomedical research

Researchers believe their acoustic tweezers have tremendous potential, especially in diagnostics, with some applications also in therapeutics

Mathematical modeling enables $100 depth sensor to approximate the measurements of a $100,000 piece of lab equipment

Program addresses unmet need for engineers trained to bring technology from prototype through regulation to market

Discovery could lead to less costly, more sustainable aquaculture practices.

More than half of biomedical researchers today do not authenticate their cell lines; Cite cost and time constraints as main barriers to making authentication routine

Opening new doors for biomedical and neuroscience research, Elizabeth Hillman, associate professor of biomedical engineering at Columbia Engineering and of radiology at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), has developed a new microscope that can image living things in 3D at very high speeds. In doing so, she has overcome some of the major hurdles faced by existing technologies, delivering 10 to 100 times faster 3D imaging speeds than laser scanning confocal, two-photon, and light-sheet microscopy.

Researchers at Duke University report the first lab-grown, contracting human muscle, which could revolutionize drug discovery and personalized medicine.

A $10 million grant over five years from the National Institutes of Health will establish a prestigious Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Matrix Biology at Boise State University. COBRE centers promote collaborative, interactive efforts among researchers with complementary backgrounds, skills and expertise.

Possible pathway to adjustable filters, surfaces with variable mechanical response, or even new ways to deliver genes for biomedical applications.
