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.

Tissue Engineering Lab Provides BME Students with Invaluable Experience
Over the past two decades, tissue engineering has emerged as an exciting new area in biomedical engineering. For all BME undergraduate concentrations at UConn, there were corresponding lab components to provide hands-on experience to supplement the classroom instruction, except for tissue engineering. Syam Nukavarapu, associate professor of biomedical engineering -- who is also a joint faculty member of Materials Science & Engineering and UConn Health -- was recently tasked with developing a tissue engineering laboratory, which has started running this semester.
