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.

A Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering alumna received a grant offer from the Fulbright U.S. Student Program for 2020-21. Madeleine Henderson is one of three engineering awardees among nine Purdue University students and alumni to receive offers this year.

BME’s Hugh Lee developed a wearable/implantable device to help opioid addicts be their own “first responders”. The device senses the danger signals given off by the body and automatically administers a life-saving drug even if the addict is incapacitated.

Young Kim's research team and collaborators developed software that would enable medical staff to take a picture of a patient’s inner eyelid with a smartphone and instantly receive a near-accurate count of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells.

A senior in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering won first prize in the recent Boeing Innovation Challenge – a competition in which students from 10 U.S. universities, assisted by Boeing experts, developed solutions to real-world aviation issues.

Tool could allow for better understanding for diseases affecting the brain, regenerative therapies
