A major question in the public health arena is whether aid is a stimulus to development or a hindrance to development in the long term. Advocates on both sides of this argument seem to agree that the short-term effects of aid projects are almost always net positive. A child gets a mosquito net, a sick […]
Interested in Global Health? ENG students welcome! PH511, “Pathogens, Poverty and Populations: an introduction to Global Health” may be the course for you! In this 4-credit course, taught by Professor Susan Foster from the BU School of Public Health, you will learn about the global burden of disease and the main causes of diseases around […]
The awesomeness of this development cannot be underestimated! Students, get in there and make stuff! It’s like the best equipped and brightest garage ever.
Dr. Mario Cabodi (BME Research Assistant Professor) and the Klapperich Lab are excited to be part of this grant! Our team is focused on sample preparation methods upstream of two very promising new optical detection technologies. Please drop us a line or follow the link for more information.
Here are links to pdf files for the Klapperich Lab’s MicroTAS 2011 posters. It was great seeing you all there! 1. Zhang et al. : ENGINEERING A POINT-OF-CARE VIRAL CONCENTRATION DEVICE FOR RAPID MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS OF INFLUENZA IN HUMAN RESPIRATORY SPECIMENS 2. Huang et al. : A DISPOSABLE DNA AMPLIFICATION PLATFORM FOR THE DETECTION OF […]
High rates of failure in metal-on-metal total hip replacements are now being reported in the United States. Pruitt and Ries (and Klapperich!) published on this way back in the day in 1999 .
Link to news article about the grant! The Phase I STTR project in partnership with BioHelix Corporation will focus on the most abundant sexually transmitted disease (STD) pathogens: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG). The scientific literature clearly shows that molecular testing is the most sensitive means of detecting CT and NG and the […]
Dr. Justyn Jaworski, (BME ’04) was recently named to a tenure track position in Chemical Engineering at Hanyang University in Seoul, Korea. Justyn worked in the Klapperich Lab and went on to University of California, Berkeley, where he completed his Ph.D. in Bioengineering with Dr. Seung-Wuk Lee. Congratulations, Justyn!
Qingqing’s thesis in Mechanical Engineering is titled “Microfluidic Platform for PCR Based Diagnostics.”
The Klapperich Lab is happy to begin posting videos on YouTube. Hope to see you there! http://www.youtube.com/user/klapperichlab
