The liver is a particularly squishy, slippery organ, prone to shifting both deadly tumors and life-preserving blood vessels by inches between the time they’re discovered on a CT scan and when the patient is lying on an operating room table. Surgeons can swab the exposed liver lightly on the surface with a special…

Engineers at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ designed the coffee-filled swim cap. Coffee is having its moment in 2017: This year researchers have discovered that it repairs damage to the liver, its one of the best beverages to drink before working out, and even helps prevent your …

Three members of the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Medical Engineering and Discovery Lab (MEDLab) attended the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) last week in Singapore. Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Robert Webster, the lab director, was invited to give a talk on his recent research, while Ph.D. Read More

Imagine plopping six cups of coffee grounds on the heads of patients just before they are wheeled into the operating room to have nose or throat surgery? In essence, that is what a team of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ engineers are proposing in an effort to improve the reliability of the sophisticated…

Innovation in processes, devices, and systems is at the center of recent advances that are transforming medical interventional procedures. The conception, development, realization, and evaluation of novel solutions that will further advance surgical and procedural patient care is complex and requires close trans-institutional interaction between clinicians, engineers, and scientists. This…

An engineering symposium dedicated to translational technology will host a national figure in that field as its keynote speaker, plus give visitors a first look at the devices coming out of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ labs.

Speaker: Ashwini D. Sharan, MD FACS President of North American Neuromodulation Society President Elect of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons Professor of Neurosurgery Program Director Division Chief for EN2 Epilepsy and Neuromodulation Neurosurgery Vickie and Jack… Read More
