The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the medical community’s use of remote healthcare as an alternative to conventional medicine—and wireless biomedical devices are a huge part of that shift. But with patients living longer, the concern turns to the long-term reliability of these devices and…

A recent Bruker BioSpin “customer insight” article highlighted how Chris Flask, professor of radiology, biomedical engineering and pediatrics, and his team are uniting preclinical and clinical research at the Case Center for Imaging Research (CCIR). Bruker BioSpin is a newsletter covering magnetic…

Asclepii Inc., a company founded by Case Western Reserve University biomedical engineering student Franco Kraiselburd, was recently awarded a $450,000 non-dilutive translational research grant. The grant funding is to push Asclepii Inc.’s product Artemis, a platform designed to foster the next…

When Brandon Prestwood took walks with his wife after losing part of his arm in an industrial accident in 2012, she favored holding his prosthetic hand—even though he couldn’t feel her touch. But the North Carolina man’s desire to restore the physical sensation of holding her hand was why he…

In December of 2015, International Women and Girls Day in Science was to recognize the critical role women and girls play in science and technology. To celebrate, the Case School of Engineering is sharing stories of remarkable women across the quad from students to faculty. Learn about their…

Last spring, CBS News correspondent Scott Pelley led viewers of the popular 60 Minutes program to a place where biomedical engineering pioneers are expanding the possibilities of human movement and touch: Case Western Reserve University. The roughly 13-minute segment featured A. Bolu Ajiboye,…

Chris Flask, professor of radiology, biomedical engineering and pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, was one of 59 investigators selected to receive the Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Research 2023 Distinguished Investigator Award. Flask is also…

In middle school, Sedona Cady first learned about the nervous system—and she was hooked. But it wasn’t until her undergraduate studies that she revisited that interest, deciding to pursue neurosciences as her field of study. Then, determined to earn a doctorate degree, she set her sights on Case…
