Wireless sensors that monitor your heart even though they do not actually touch your skin are at the center of UC San Diego electrical engineering PhD student Yu Mike Chi’s dissertation. This technology – and the plan for commercializing it – earned Chi and his Cognionics team the top spot in the UC San Diego Entrepreneurship Challenge. The prize includes $25K in cash for the startup and $15K in legal services. Chi is developing these technologies under the guidance of professor Gert Cauwenberghs from the Department of Bioengineering at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering.

Researchers led by UC San Diego built a device that sorts and separates cancer cells from the same tumor based on how “sticky” they are. They found that less sticky cells migrate and invade other tissues more than their stickier counterparts, and have genes that make tumor recurrence more likely.

NSF GRFP recipient Katie Brown is a second-year graduate student studying bioengineering at Rice University. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in polymer and fiber engineering, and her research advisor at Auburn was Professor Maria Auad in the Department of Chemical Engineering. Her project is titled “Investigating Mechanisms of Discrete Subaortic Stenosis with an In Vitro Model” and aims to develop a biological model of a debilitating pediatric heart disease.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard on December 20, 2018. The National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Law, passed by Congress in July of 2016, directed USDA to establish this national mandatory standard for disclosing foods that are or may be bioengineered.
The Standard requires food manufacturers, importers, and certain retailers to ensure bioengineered foods are appropriately disclosed.

Sriram Kosuri is developing next-generation DNA synthesis technologies for use in bioengineering. He and his collaborators have created new processes that are faster, more accurate, and significantly less expensive than current methods for synthesizing genes. Kosuri has authored several patents and patent applications related to both biofuels and DNA synthesis technologies, and has published in journals including Nature Biotechnology and Science. Using Kosuri’s new approaches, cells and organisms can be more efficiently engineered to have novel and complex capabilities, such as producing vaccines and drugs, regenerating injured tissues, or cleaning up pollution.

Biologically Inspired Engineering: From Human Organs-on-Chips to Programmable Nanotherapeutics
Dr. Donald Ingber
Professor of Bioengineering, Harvard John. A. Paulson School of Engineering & Applied Sciences
Abstract
The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University that I lead has pioneered a new model for innovation, trans-disciplinary collaboration and technology translation. I will highlight engineering of “Organs-on-Chips” that recapitulate organ-level structure and functions as a way to replace animal testing for drug development, mechanistic discovery, and personalized medicine; nanotherapeutics that target to vascular occlusion sites like artificial platelets; anticoagulant surface coatings for medicine devices inspired by a plant; a ‘biospleen’ device that cleanses blood of pathogens and toxins in septic patients; and self-assembling DNA-based nanorobots that can be programmed to travel to cancer sites and kill tumor cells. This new bioinspired technology wave represents a major paradigm shift in medicine, and the novel organizational structure of the Institute offers an entirely new way to translate discoveries into breakthrough products in the academic setting.

‘I like to call the image “Highly Oriented Bricks-like Crystals” and it has been taken on SEM-7001 machine.
The particles represent the crystals of ZSM-5 zeolite catalyst which has wide applications in the refineries for different petroleum and petrochemicals reactions. The catalyst was synthesized in different sizes in order to investigate the role of diffusion length in the catalyst performance. This catalyst is well known by its coffin shape however in the current image the crystals look highly oriented in Bricks-like shape’.

Treschev represents Rosaviakosmos.
This SEM (Scanning Electro Micrograph) shows hexagons of bioactive ceramic patterned onto metal. If this surface texture is applied to medical implants, it improves their assimilation into the patient's body, meaning shorter recovery times and fewer corrective surgeries. Developed by the group of Professor Mohan Edirisinghe at UCL Mechanical Engineering, it is being developed as a commercial technique for medical implants.
