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.One day, these shape-
Roughly 6.8 million people donate blood in the United States alone, 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 Associate Professor Xiaoyun Ding and medical collaborators at 麻豆免费版下载Anschutz have created a new chip device to help give blood centers and hospitals a reliable way to monitor the quality of red blood cells after they sit for 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.
Jacob Segil, a research professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering at 麻豆免费版下载Boulder, collaborated with Dr. Omer Mei Dan from the Department of Orthopedics at University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine to create a redesigned surgical instrument called the CAP-LIFT cannula. The technology completely transforms arthroscopic procedures in the hip region, making them safer and more efficient than ever before.
The Biomedical Engineering Career Symposium returned for its fourth consecutive year, this time with an expanded and more methodical approach.
Assistant Professor Nicole Xu has been selected as a recipient of the 2025 Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering. The award provides some of the nation鈥檚 most promising early career scientists and engineers flexible funding to test novel ideas and lead research that drives real-world impact.
Darwin Quiroz is exploring new frontiers in miniature lasers with major biomedical applications.
Quiroz, a physics PhD student in the lab of BME Professor Juliet Gopinath in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, and also co-advised by Professor Victor Bright from Paul M. Rady in Mechanical Engineering, is co-first author of a new study that demonstrates how a fluid-based optical device known as an electrowetting prism can be used to steer lasers at high speeds for advanced imaging applications.
