UConn Students, Alum Shine As Part of ‘The Ventilator Project’
A pair of UConn students and a recent graduate are part of an effort to bring an emergency ventilator to market as quickly as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic.
How Mapping COVID-19 Could Help Drug Companies
When the spread of COVID-19 started to affect the University of Connecticut, the state, and the country, Ranjan Srivastava, department head for Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, knew he had to spring into action. Drawing on his previous work in mathematically modeling how the Hepatitis B virus spreads, Srivastava realized he could apply the principles of what he knew to the behavior of COVID-19, which could be useful to other researchers and drug companies.
UConn Research Team Developing Emergency Ventilator Prototype
Jeffrey McCutcheon, the Al Geib Professor of Environmental Engineering Research and Education at UConn, is usually busy this time of year studying subjects like membrane separations and filtration. But like many, the director of the Fraunhofer USA Center for Energy Innovation, located in the Innovation Partnership Building at UConn Tech Park, has seen the focus of his work change with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Amidst COVID-19 Outbreak, UConn Researchers Working on Simple, Low-Cost CRISPR-based Diagnostic Test for Infectious Diseases
Researchers in the Department of Biomedical Engineering— a shared department in the schools of Dental Medicine, Medicine, and Engineering—have been working to develop a new, low-cost, CRISPR-based diagnostic platform to detect infectious diseases, including the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).
UConn Research Team Developing Emergency Ventilator Prototype
UConn researchers have developed a prototype of an emergency ventilator that could be manufactured to meet surges in demand stemming from the coronavirus crisis.
How Mapping COVID-19 Could Help Drug Companies
UConn's Ranjan Srivastava aims to mathematically model how the novel coronavirus replicates within an infected cell and how the infection spreads within the human body, boosting efforts to find effective treatments.
UConn Biomedical Engineer Creates “Smart” Bandages to Heal Chronic Wounds
Chronic and non-healing wounds—one of the most devastating complications of diabetes and the leading cause of limb amputation—affects millions of Americans each year. Due to the complex nature of these wounds, proper clinical treatment has been limited.
Patented Smart Bearings for Bridge Safety
Bridges are a key part of any modern transportation network, but it can be difficult to monitor the safety and upkeep needs of these structures without precise data.
UConn President, Nine Faculty Inducted Into Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering
Ten University of Connecticut faculty were announced as inductees into the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering for 2020, including UConn President Thomas C. Katsouleas.
