Nuclear imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET), provides superior sensitivity and specificity. That is why PET is widely used in hospitals to detect and stage different types of cancers in the body. However, the resolution of PET images is …
Cancerous tumors don’t happen in a vacuum. They develop in a cellular soup that can contribute to the disease’s progression. Mahsa Dabagh, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, knows this first-hand. Her specialty is computational modeling of how cells and organelles …
On Nov. 2 the College of Engineering & Applied Science showed off its newly renovated 9th and 10th floor research spaces to alumni, business and community partners. Dean Brett Peters noted that, in addition to sharing the incredible transformation of …
Ge He joined the college this summer as a visiting assistant professor, biomedical engineering. Most recently, he was an associate professor in the School of Mechanics and Engineering Science at Shanghai University. He is an expert in computational mechanics application …
The National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) awarded $175,000 in July to Qingsu Cheng, assistant professor, biomedical engineering, for a one-year research project to evaluate the risk of breast cancer during long-term space travel. The findings could help medical experts …
In June, the National Science Foundation awarded $50,000 to Priyatha Premnath, assistant professor, biomedical engineering, for a one-year I-Corps project to determine the commercialization pathway for the repurposing of an anti-cancer drug for bone healing. The drug, UC2288, is an …
Congratulations to Roshan D’Souza, who received a 2023 Office of Research/ UWM Foundation Research Award in June. These awards recognize assistant and associate professors who have demonstrated the potential to achieve distinction in their academic disciplines through scholarship, creative activity, …
When UWM temporarily shuttered buildings in spring 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, one team of researchers began their groundbreaking work on the empty campus. That team has now completed their project, funded in April 2020 by a $198,326 …
Congratulations to Bill Paczkowski (’22 Electrical Engineering), who won second prize and $5,000 in the La Macchia New Venture Business Plan Competition at UWM’s Lubar College of Business. Paczkowski presented his plan for Smart Count, a high-tech solutions platform that …
In April, Brooke Slavens, associate professor, mechanical engineering, hosted 29 MPS students—from Golda Meir—in her Mobility Lab, where she introduced them to the scientific field of biomechanics. The students were on a STEM-related field trip spurred by National Biomechanics Day, a …
