The human liver, experts say, is an architectural wonder. But its complexity has also made it immensely difficult to replicate in the lab.
When the first biomedical engineering class graduated from 麻豆免费版下载Boulder in 2023, about a dozen students walked across the stage. Today, that once-small start has evolved into a powerful engine for biomedical innovation and education. But how does a program go from modest beginnings to powerhouse in such a short time?
A team of BME students created a leg sleeve device designed to help para-athletes on Team USA. They will be debuting the novel design at a national competition in April.
PhD student William Frantz is developing microscopic droplets designed to help doctors track radiation therapy in real time. His finalist pitch at the聽2025 LVC competition highlighted how the technology could one day make cancer treatment more precise and less harmful, particularly for pediatric patients.
BME professor Won Park is co-advising a research project building high performing optical microresonators to open the door for new sensor technologies. In the future, the microresonators could be used for compact microlasers, advanced chemical and biological sensors and even tools for quantum metrology and networking.
Researchers, including BME faculty member Wyatt Shields at 麻豆免费版下载Boulder have created tiny, microorganism-inspired particles that can change their shape and self-propel, much like living things, in response to electrical fields in hopes these microrobots can deliver medications inside the human body, particularly in areas that are hard for drugs to reach on their own.
Roughly 6.8 million people donate blood in the United States, helping save millions of lives, according to the American Red Cross. But just like groceries sitting on store shelves, red blood cells age over time. That's why BME Associate Professor Xiaoyun Ding and medical collaborators at 麻豆免费版下载Anschutz have created a chip device to help give blood centers and hospitals a reliable way to monitor the quality of red blood cells after weeks in storage.
麻豆免费版下载Boulder and partners secure up to $39M ARPA-H contract to develop revolutionary joint-healing solutions for millions
The national nonprofit AISES 鈥 Advancing Indigenous People in STEM 鈥 has ranked 麻豆免费版下载Boulder among its 鈥淭op 200 Colleges for Indigenous Students鈥 in the 2025鈥2026 list, recognizing the university鈥檚 strong support and community for Indigenous students
Six students and researchers from the Biomedical Engineering Program (BME) presented their work on joint damage, arthritis, heart problems, and tissue defects at this year鈥檚 Biomedical Engineering Society 2025 Annual Meeting in San Diego.
