Can Wearable Tech Finally Get Blood...
Blood pressure is one of the most important measurements in healthcare. Yet how we track it hasn’t changed much in more than a century.
Is This the Breakthrough Drug Development...
Modern drug discovery is better than it’s ever been. We can sequence genomes in hours, predict how proteins behave, and design molecules with increasing precision.
From Concept to CAREER Award
Funding from the National Science Foundation plays an essential role at UC Irvine in advancing critical research spanning topics from brain health and AI to wildfire mitigation, water quality and shifting social dynamics. Securing this highly competitive funding, however, requires navigating a complex pathway – one that can be daunting for early career faculty members working to bring new research ideas from concept to award.
Grosberg Creates Way to Research Sex-based...
Anna Grosberg, UCI professor of biomedical engineering, and Ph.D. student Mary Tran have made the first characterization of the difference between male and female neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) in vitro tissues. Their work was just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and offers a way to study sex-based variations in cardiac tissues and function.
A Smartphone App Could Change How Stroke...
In assessing stroke patient rehabilitation, clinicians have largely relied on their eyes to measure how well a stroke patient can move, grasp and let go. But what if a pocket-sized tool could capture every motion, quantify progress and provide new insight — all in the time it takes to open an app?
