Assistant Professors Kayla Sprenger and Laurel Hind, Biomedical Engineering Program faculty, are on a collaborative mission to explore solutions for mitigating cognitive decline in individuals living with HIV. This decline can be caused by both the virus itself and the antiretroviral (ARV) drugs used to treat it.
In amusement park-like experiments on campus, aerospace engineers at Boulder are spinning, shaking and rocking people to study the disorientation and nausea that come from traveling from Earth to space and back again.
Sixteen teams of University of Colorado faculty, researchers and graduate student innovators competed for a combined $1.5 million in startup funding grants in this year’s Lab Venture Challenge (LVC). Judges from Boulder’s entrepreneurial network heard Shark-Tank-style pitches across two nights, one for innovations in biosciences and another for physical sciences and engineering.
University of Colorado Boulder researchers have developed a new way of counting microorganisms that works as much as 36 times faster than conventional methods, cuts plastic use more than 15-fold and substantially decreases the cost and carbon footprint of biomedical research.
Aspero Medical, a spin-out company co-founded by Professor Mark Rentschler, has received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market and sell the Ancora-SB small bowel balloon overtube that incorporates the company’s patented
CLARI, which stands for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect, comes from a team of engineers led by Kaushik Jayaram. The robot also has the potential to aid first responders after major disasters in an entirely new way.
Bruns started a company with tattoo-artist-to-the-stars Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy, along with a former doctoral student. Early next year, they plan to release their first product, Magic Ink, to a group of handpicked artists.
Assistant Professor Nick Bottenus of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Biomedical Engineering Program has been awarded a Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Award for research advancing the state of
