Recently, 30 teams of Biomedical Engineering students (a record 140 students) shared their projects in the Senior Design 2023 competition.

Projects spanned imaging, diagnostics, at-home care, pharmaceuticals, injury rehabilitation and detection, early detection, adaptive and assistive technologies and emergency care.

Digital technologies will play a major role in shaping healthcare’s future. This course teaches students about every aspect of wearables and how to process the continuous data streams from the sensors.

Andrew Otte, PhD is an Emerging Leader in BME. Recently he was awarded $9.85 million from the National Institutes of Health to develop a long-acting biodegradable implant of the drug buprenorphine, which is used for the treatment of opioid use disorder.

Taimoor Qazi, assistant professor at the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, recently received a $75,000 Junior Investigator grant from the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF Biologics) to explore a new injectable biomaterial graft for muscle generation.

Reilly Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering's Fang Huang's research team built a novel AI engine.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced Krishna Jayant, assistant professor in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, was selected for a prestigious award created to reward and encourage young researchers.

Natalia Rodriguez, assistant professor in the Purdue University Department of Public Health who holds a courtesy appointment in BME, has been selected as a 2023 National Institutes of Health Director’s New Innovator Award recipient.

A senior design team from the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering won first place in the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering’s Design by Biomedical Undergraduate Team (DEBUT) Challenge.

A novel mathematical model can bypass time-consuming and costly experimentation to accurately predict the drug release. The underlying study, “Mechanistic computational modeling of implantable, bioresorbable, drug release systems,” has been published by the journal Advanced Materials.
