MACRO Frontiers conference to be held on campus June 6-8
The 2013 MACRO Frontiers conference will be held June 6-8, in Hovorka Atrium at Case Western Reserve University. The conference is open to all faculty, staff and students, especially those interested in engineering, chemistry, biology and medicine. At the conference, attendees can explore the…
Biomedical engineering research lab aims to improve cancer treatments
Some prostate cancer patients unnecessarily undergo surgery or harsh treatments because science fails to identify the differences between slow-growing and aggressive forms of the disease. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine are developing…
Engineering’s Jing Li give keynote talk at Great Lakes Bioinformatics Conference
Jing Li, associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, recently gave a keynote speech at Great Lakes Bioinformatics Conference (GLBIO), which was held May 14-16 on the Carnegie Mellon campus, co-hosted by Carnegie Mellon University and the University of…
There’s always room—and now a classroom—for Jell-O at CWRU
A team of Case Western Reserve University students is pushing Jell-O as brain food—to teach middle schoolers about engineering. For their efforts, the team won the Biomaterials Education Challenge and $2,500 prize at the Society of Biomaterials’ national meeting in April. Jell-O may be the…
Engineering student Alan Filer wins Fulbright scholarship to South Korea
Fourth-year engineering student Alan Filer has won a Fulbright scholarship to travel to South Korea in the fall. There, he’ll explore ways to make cheaper and cleaner alternatives to costly and toxic materials used in solar panels. Filer, who will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in materials…
Engineering student wins Best Student Paper award at international conference
Tina He, a PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) mentored by Professor Philip Feng, won the Best Student Paper competition at the 8th Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered &…
CWRU-led scientists build material that could lead to safer, more comfortable implants
Led by scientists at Case Western Reserve University, researchers have turned to an unlikely model to make medical devices safer and more comfortable: a squid’s beak. Many medical implants require hard materials that have to connect to or pass through soft body tissue. This mechanical mismatch…
Students travel to Malawi to see how engineering can improve children’s health
Vaccinations are critical to good health, but to be effective, the vaccines must be refrigerated. In developing countries with little access to electricity to keep the vaccines cold or automobiles to quickly transport them, simply getting vaccines to individuals in need can be a major challenge.…
