Right drug, right dosage, right away
ImpeDx, co-founded by Mizzou Engineering’s Shramik Sengupta, recently received a National Science Foundation (NSF) SBIR Phase II grant and CDC contract.
Ultrafast laser provides unique research opportunities
Heather Hunt, along with fellow BBCE faculty collaborator Karl Hammond, plan to use the laser initially for time-resolved Raman spectroscopy.
MU, MURR magnets for key radioisotope research
Most elements can only have their therapeutic radioisotopes separated with use of a very powerful electromagnet. And Mizzou Engineering’s John Gahl just received funding to set up and operate one.
MU researchers reach blood pressure breakthrough
The Mizzou team of researchers utilized non-contact hydraulic bed sensors to estimate relative systolic blood pressure — the top number in a typical blood pressure reading — by extracting features from the ballistocardiogram (BCG) signal.
Coulter Program funds three cutting-edge projects
The goal of the program is to bring engineers and clinicians together to develop novel solutions to pressing medical needs. As such, the three projects funded this year — a total of $302,000 — include faculty members from Mizzou Engineering and the School of Medicine.
MU Engineering, CAFNR announce merger of biomedical, biological and chemical engineering
The departments of Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering will join together to form the Biomedical, Biological and Chemical Engineering Department starting this academic year.
Dean Loboa named vice chancellor for Strategic Partnerships
