Research
Engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder and Purdue University, funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation, explored how mechanical forces guide the early cell development of organisms.
Studying emergent behavior has long fascinated engineers, and researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have uncovered a distinct behavior in colonies of fire ants cooperating in flood situations.
At the 2021 International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies, North Carolina State University researchers outlined their work on janus cubes—polymer microparticles coated with metal on one side that can be used in drug delivery, in cell measurement or as miniature actuators. Professor Wyatt Shields participated in the research as a post-doctoral fellow at NCSU.
In a new study published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, Professor Corey Neu and his team found that mechanical forces can reorganize the genetic material inside the nucleus of heart cells and affect how they develop and function.
Sarah Lipp, a graduate student in the NIH-supported tissue engineering lab of Professor Sarah Calve, creates image showing the interface of skin and muscle during mammalian development.
Seven new grants have been awarded to advance a wide range of projects, including research happening by Laurel Hind and Maureen Lynch.
Biomedical Engineering Professor Corey Neu and Benjamin Seelbinder's (PhDMech’19) work, now published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, looks at how cells adapt to their environment and how a mechanical environment influences a cell. Their research has the potential to tackle major health obstacles.
The Research & Innovation Office has announced the 2022 RIO Faculty Fellows cohort, comprised of 17 of the most promising faculty from across ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder.
Associate Professor Wil Srubar shares the importance of having core facilities, like the Materials Instrumentation and Multimodal Imaging Core (MIMIC) Facility, at public institutions.
Several new faculty hires in ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Engineering have a deep interest in bio-inspired engineering.
