Understanding how light interacts with living cells and tissues is the foundation of BU engineer Darren Roblyer’s medical device inventions, which can open up a whole new way of monitoring health
Team led by Professors Ji-Xin Cheng and Chen Yang succeeds in suppressing seizure-causing neurons
DermaSensor’s titular device is the first of its kind cleared by the FDA for use by non-specialist physicians.
Assistant Professors Martin Thunemann (BME) and Ella Zeldich (Anatomy & Neurobiology) were recently awarded with a $2.3 million R01 grant from NIH (National Institute of Aging) for the next three years, with the option of a non-competitive extension to five years. The project is entitled “Understanding neuronal dysfunction in Down Syndrome using assembloids and xenotransplanted […]

Crystal ribcage opens black box of a functioning lung to optical imaging: A transparent ‘crystal’ ribcage enables first real-time, high-resolution optical imaging of a functioning lung from whole organ down to single-cell scales.
by Danny Giancioppo, Photos by Chris McIntosh Nanomaterials & Interdisciplinary Research For recently promoted Professor Chen Yang (ECE, Chem, MSE), making a societal impact through her work––utilizing nanotechnology to research, understand, and develop retinal and neurostimulative devices––is everything. The interdisciplinary nature of her research, meanwhile, is a natural part of the process. “It’s interdisciplinary because […]
“Most of what we know about the human brain comes from technologies like F MRI where people are lying in this machine and their brains are being imaged. We don’t know very much at all about how the brain is activated in natural settings – when people are walking around, looking at a scene, moving […]
