This fall, we’re holding an event to connect external investigators with researchers and resources at NIH. The event, Building Bridges Across NIH and the Broader Engineering Community, will take place on Tuesday, October 22, the day before the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) annual meeting kicks off in Baltimore, Maryland. Attendees can look forward to invited and abstract-driven talks, poster sessions, lab tours, panel discussions, a chance to meet program directors, and networking opportunities. Professors, postdocs, and graduate and undergraduate students are all encouraged to join us.

“We imagine that, if translated to humans, this platform could allow someone to receive anti-inflammatory medication once a month instead of a few times a week, for example,” said Daniel Siegwart. A new technology from Siegwart and colleagues at UT Southwestern Medical Center could greatly extend the lifespan of drugs in the body by turning cells into drug factories.

The FDA has granted U.S. market authorization to Cepheid for the first rapid hepatitis C virus test that can be used in patient care settings and deliver results in about one hour. The new technology – validated through a collaboration between RADx Tech at The National Institutes of Health, FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – could help patients with positive tests begin treatment right away, rather than the current approach, which requires lengthy laboratory processing.

A functional, healthy bladder is something that many of us take for granted. Yet millions of Americans deal with bladder issues, ranging from temporary inconveniences to long-lasting conditions. While many bladder disorders can be managed with non-invasive solutions, some conditions may require surgery to restore bladder function. Thousands of bladder surgeries are performed every year in the U.S., yet significant improvements in bladder augmentation and monitoring have not been seen in many decades. A collaborative NIH-funded team at Northwestern University is working to change that. They are tackling the issues from two different vantage points: improving bladder function by utilizing a cell-seeded, biodegradable construct that both augments the bladder and facilitates tissue regeneration, along with enhancing patient monitoring by developing an implantable bladder sensor. Their research, many years in the making, has reached an important clinical milestone—evaluating their technologies in non-human primate models.

Nine medical device developers recently received emergency use authorization for COVID-19 and flu multiplex tests. This achievement, facilitated by RADx Tech at NIH, has led to the production of 15 new at-home and point-of-care tests. See the lineup: https://lnkd.in/eXHEGWeB #COVID19 #Influenza #Diagnostics

New STEM resource alert! Check out the Biomedical Engineering Adapted for Middle Schoolers (BEAMS) Lesson Plans from National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB). These lessons provide students with hands-on activities that focus on biomedical engineering approaches to address health care problems. Topics include nanoparticles for drug delivery, DNA and gene editing, surgical robots, and biomaterials. Find it on the NIH STEM teaching resources website: go.nih.gov/AIeijx6. #FedSTEMEd #NIHSTEM #ScienceTeachers

“Healing a wound is like building a house. You have to lay the foundation first before you can put in the plumbing,” said Jordan Yaron, a bioengineering assistant research professor at the ASU Biodesign Institute. In an NIBIB-funded study, Yaron and colleagues sought to provide the right treatment at the right time to heal a model of diabetic wounds in mice. Their multistep strategy applied different nanomaterials to the wounds at different time points, supporting both early- and late-stage healing. Find out how this approach treated the particularly difficult wounds: https://lnkd.in/ek8g6nhP #Diabetes #Nanopartcles #BiomedicalEngineering
