Research Spotlight

Quantitative experiments and theory applied to study human vascular disorders

Researchers apply cellular and biomolecular engineering principles to study human vascular diseases. Many of the studies examine the functions of blood and vascular components under fluid shear conditions. >>
Research Spotlight

Researchers develop process to prepare luminescent quantum dots

A combined vapor- and solution-phase process produces silicon nanoparticles having size-dependent optical properties. Potential applications range from solar cells to bioimaging. >>
Research Spotlight

Stem cell research

Systems are engineered for the propagation of human stem cells and their differentiation to endoderm cells in clinically relevant quantities. Stem cell progeny cultured in a microcarrier bioreactor is shown. >>
Research Spotlight

Improved Batteries for Medical Devices

Researchers are exploring how to extend the life time of batteries used in medical devices. Novel material structures are being explored as cathode materials. Discharge and parasitic reaction mechanisms are being characterized and quantified. >>
