A revolution in regenerative medicine — led by NC State
NC State researchers are working to advance the medicine that can help your body to heal.
Building bridges to biomechanics
National Biomechanics Day gives STEM students a unique opportunity to learn about the field and interact with NC State scientists.
NC State faculty member named as 2019-20 RTI University Scholar
Dr. Roger Narayan, a professor in the UNC/NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, has been selected as an RTI International University Scholar for the 2019-20 academic year. Narayan was one of only four scholars chosen this academic year.
NC State honors outstanding faculty
NC State honored more than 30 faculty members, including Dean Louis Martin-Vega and other engineering faculty members, for their outstanding contributions to the university community during the 2019 Celebration of Faculty Excellence on May 1. The annual event honors faculty who have won prestigious state, national and international awards and created new knowledge and advancements in their respective disciplines.
Biosensor allows real-time oxygen monitoring for “organs on a chip”
A new biosensor allows researchers to track oxygen levels in real time in “organ-on-a-chip” systems, making it possible to ensure that such systems more closely mimic the functions of real organs. This is essential if organs on a chip are to achieve their potential in applications such as drug and toxicity testing.
New system allows rapid response to heart attacks
Researchers in the UNC/NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) have developed a drug-delivery system that allows rapid response to heart attacks without surgical intervention. In laboratory and animal testing, the system proved to be effective at dissolving clots, limiting long-term scarring to heart tissue and preserving more of the heart’s normal function.
