ֱ Boulder engineers and faculty from theConsortium for Fibrosis Research & Translation(CFReT) at the ֱ Anschutz Medical Campus have teamed up to develop biomaterial-based “mimics” of heart tissues to measure patients’ responses to
Researchers at ֱ Boulder have developed virtual clinical trials for an artificial pancreas that could significantly improve treatments for those with Type 1 diabetes by tailoring medical devices and speeding up trials. The work was done
A new material developed by ֱBoulder engineers can transform into complex, pre-programmed shapes via light and temperature stimuli, allowing a literal square peg to morph and fit into a round hole before fully reverting to its original form
The Society for Biomaterials Annual Meeting has been a regular stop during my Ph.D. career. From my first attendance at the 2014 conference in Denver to my most recent experience this year in Minnesota; it has become a very familiar place to me. I
The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition, or iGEM, is an annual synthetic biology competition that pits teams from schools from all over the world against each other with the goal of winning one of many possible awards. ֱ
ֱ-Boulder Student Team Wins Silver at Premiere Biology CompetitionThe International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) event is the top synthetic biology competition in the world and the ֱ-Boulder team wanted to make an impact at this year’s
In just a few days, members from our team will be boarding a plane to Boston. When we arrive, we are participating in an annual synthetic biology competition against both foreign and domestic teams at an international conference, held by the
Just a few weeks ago, we boarded a plane destined for Boston and the 2014 World iGEM Jamboree. Once we arrived, we were racing to the hotel to put some finishing touches onto our power point presentation. Our team was selected as one of the first
