Mizzou team uses EMG signals to assess movement in osteoarthritis patients

An interdisciplinary research team at Mizzou has demonstrated a way to use non-invasive electromyography, or EMG, signals to assess lower body movements in osteoarthritis patients.

Finding a passion for research

Emma McDougal was one of four Mizzou students to be named a Goldwater Scholar.

Wear and forget: an ultrasoft material for on-skin health devices

Zheng Yan and a team of researchers at the University of Missouri may have a solution. They have created an ultrasoft “skin-like” material — that’s both breathable and stretchable — for use in the development of an on-skin, wearable bioelectronic device.

Study unexpectedly finds only 7 health symptoms directly related to ‘long COVID’

In a new study, a team of University of Missouri researchers made an unexpected discovery: people experiencing long-lasting effects from COVID-19 — known as “long COVID” or post-COVID conditions — are susceptible to developing only seven health symptoms for up to a year following the infection. They are: fast-beating heart, hair loss, fatigue, chest pain, shortness of breath, joint pain and obesity.

Researcher developing new ways to fabricate microprobes, nano electrodes

A Mizzou Engineering faculty member is developing new ways to fabricate microprobes and nano electrodes that will help researchers across campus.

Mizzou Engineering researchers design new heart health wearable device

A team of Mizzou Engineering researchers are using a $2.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to help create a breathable material — with antibacterial and antiviral properties — to support the team’s ongoing development of a multifunctional, wearable heart monitor.

Team using fluorescent molecules as biomarkers to study secretion

An interdisciplinary research team received NSF funding to develop a method to follow biological activity using fluorescent molecules

Reversing drug resistance in lung cancer

Raghuraman Kannan, right, and a team of researchers at the University of Missouri recently received a $2.35 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to generate preclinical data based on their existing research around lung cancer — the required step before human clinical trials can begin.

Wan receives $5 million grant to study animal-human transmission of SARS-CoV-2

Professor Henry Wan has received a $5 million USDA grant to study whether animals might send new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus back to us.

Mizzou Engineering team develops tool to assess diabetes risk

Mizzou Engineers are bringing artificial intelligence services to the end user through edge intelligence, developing a smartphone app that lets you determine your risk for diabetes. Unlike other tools available, the system would allow you to enter personal health data securely and ensure it remains private.
