Assistant Professor Longji Cui's research will improve the next generation of nanoelectronics and renewable energy technology.
A team of biologists and engineers at CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ recently led an exercise class for tiny worms—and their findings could one day help doctors treat humans with Parkinson’s disease and similar illnesses.
Mechanical forces can reorganize the genetic material inside the nucleus of heart cells and affect how they develop and function. Better understanding of how cells claim and maintain their identities may help advance treatments to repair heart damage from cardiovascular disease and create new prosthetic tissues.

Fine particulate matter and ozone, for example, have been linked to fatal lung and heart issues. A recent study coauthored by Professor Daven Haze and recent PhD graduate Omar Nawaz adds to the growing body of research that shows that when countries reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, the associated improvements in air quality could save countless lives.
Calve, Ferguson have received a $1.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health for research they hope will help inform regenerative therapies to replace tissue or organs that have been damaged by disease, trauma or congenital issues.
Professor Robert MacCurdy featured on podcast "Our Future in Space," produced by Orbital Assembly Corporation, and talks the future of robotics and what impact they’ll have on our capabilities in Space.
Professor Robert MacCurdy and a team of researchers have developed a new strategy for transforming medical images, such as CT or MRI scans, into incredibly detailed 3D models on the computer. The researchers describe their results in the cover story for the journal 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing.
