Combining 4D and 3D technologies can help healthcare providers better predict, diagnose and treat heart disease. Purdue BME's Craig Goergen describes the need and his team’s novel solution.

Purdue Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering researchers developed an airborne disinfection method – using edible food-coloring dyes – to apply to the entire body and rooms for sterilization and lowering the risk of infection.

Doug Brubaker, a Purdue assistant professor of biomedical engineering, uses computational and experimental approaches to study host-microbiome interactions in cancers and inflammatory diseases.

A Purdue Engineering team developed a fully implantable transmitter chip for wireless sensor nodes and biomedical devices. It's smaller and uses less energy than other current designs.

The Purdue team, including Dr. Riyi Shi and innovators from several disciplines across the university, received a $1.3 million grant from the Department of Defense for their work developing biomarkers and identifying new targets for phagocytic function of microglial cells, immune cells in the brain, in the context of brain injury-related Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia.

Purdue University, Raytheon BBN Technologies, PortaScience Inc., Cortex Design Inc., and LaDuca LLC announced a partnership to produce and manufacture a COVID-19 home test developed by Mohit Verma.

Biomedical engineering lies at the confluence of the transformational rivers of health and education, fostering a culture of disruption on both fronts.

Two BME faculty innovators received Trask Innovation funding to help their labs commercialize their innovations.

Chi Hwan Lee's team has created a novel wearable patch for an improved, less-invasive treatment for skin cancer.

Science Journal for Kids published research by Dr. Jacqueline Linnes and her research team about a small device she developed to rapidly detect the HIV virus from blood. The journal publishes cutting-edge, peer-reviewed science research adapted for young students and their teachers.
