Students show how their studies could make people healthier A University of Delaware graduate student develops pressure-detecting sensors that could help injured patients recover. Another student analyzes brain scans to understand balance in children with cerebral...
Buchanan Lab uses engineering science to improve rehabilitation A tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in a knee isn’t just painful in the moment — the injury also increases a patient’s risk of developing osteoarthritis later. At the University of Delaware, a...
This fourth-year mechanical engineering student excels in research and service As an undergraduate research assistant in the laboratory of Dr. Jason Gleghorn, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, Olivia Powell is developing a microfluidic storage platform to...
Engineering professor named Fellow by American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering There’s a treadmill in the center of Professor Jill Higginson’s laboratory, and it’s not for impromptu workouts. Higginson studies human motion and gait so that she and...
Symposium reveals potential for new partnerships If you can read this, breathe in and out, stand up, sit down, twist and shout – you can thank your neurons and the wildly complex pathways and lightning speed with which they traverse your entire self, carrying messages...
Light-triggered therapies work better together than separately against triple-negative breast cancer Two University of Delaware researchers have developed a new approach to attack cancer, using two light-activated treatments that appear to be more effective together...
