Researchers aim to staunch bleeding, detect and treat disease A research team led by Case Western Reserve University and collaborating with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation received a $1.9 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to develop injectable artificial platelets that halt…

Dustin Tyler, associate professor of biomedical engineering, is a co-lead investigator on a team that received a $199,913 grant from the Rehabilitation Research and Development (RRD) Service Small Projects in Rehabilitation Research (SPiRE) program to develop advanced in-line connectors. In the…

Services will be held on campus this Saturday in memory of longtime biomedical engineering professor Roger Marchant, who died last week at the age of 62. Marchant, who earned his master’s and doctoral degrees at Case Western Reserve, spent his entire professional career at the university. In…

Eben Alsberg, associate professor of biomedical engineering, recently was selected to the editorial board of Tissue Engineering, a leading journal in his field, and Nature Scientific Reports. He also was elected to the Americas Council of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine…

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have received a $540,000 federal grant to devise methods for building minute structures tailored to precisely deliver medicines to tumors or carry dyes that help imaging technologies detect disease, create more efficient nanowires and nanoelectronics,…

Megan Moynahan’s early interest in biomedical engineering stemmed from an article she read in a science magazine about bionic people and the idea of artificial organs and limbs. As a 14-year-old, she wrote letters to researchers to help her replicate a famous experiment by physicist Luigi Galvani…

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have received two grants totaling nearly $1.7 million to build nanoparticles that seek and destroy metastases too small to be detected with current technologies. They are targeting aggressive cancers that persist through traditional chemotherapy and…

Like anyone else, Cameron McIntyre likes to unwind after a long week in the office or, in his case, the lab. However, his idea of relaxing doesn’t involve the calm of a golf course or ballgame; rather, he prefers a seat behind the steering wheel of a race car, taking hairpin turns at breakneck…

Case Western Reserve University has appointed Robert F. Kirsch chairman of the biomedical engineering department and Kenneth A. Loparo chairman of the electrical engineering and computer science department. Kirsch and Loparo are prolific researchers, proven leaders among their peers and…

The Case Western Reserve University community is invited to attend Thursday's Ford Distinguished Lecture featuring Karl Deisseroth, the D.H. Chen Professor of Bioengineering and Psychiatry at Stanford University. Deisseroth will present his lecture, “Optical Deconstruction of Fully Assembled…
