Who performs a large part of the research in labs?
Graduate/PHD students (although some undergrads too!)
Name a place other than Iaccoca Hall where you could find bioengineering research going on
Packard Lab, Building C, etc,
What did Professor Liu isolate cancer cells in?
A tube of blood
Working on ways to regenerate cartilage after injury, specifically osteochondral tissue around the knee
Yes! Lesley Chow
Are all of the faculty's research strictly under one department?
Nope! Much of faculty research transcends disciplines
What floor in Iacocca Hall is the bioengineering department office?
3rd floor
Why are detecting CTCs (circulating tumor cells) so important?
Can lead to an early prognosis of serious disease and allow you to monitor how effective treatment is
A solution to the problem of scheduling and planning the motion of a fleet of robots involved in semiconductor manufacturing
No, Cristian-Ioan Vasile in mechanical engineering department
Fun fact: Which one of us right now is involved in a research lab right now?
Andrine, Ramamurthi lab
Name 2 of the different departments within Iacocca Hall (although brownie points if you can name all 5)
Education, bioengineering, chemical and biomolecular engineering, biological sciences, and counseling psychology program
What is metastasis and how does it occur?
It is the “development of tumor growth at a secondary site” and occurs when “the primary tumor site sheds cancerous cells that are then circulated through the body via blood vessels or lymph nodes.” These are the circulating tumor cells
Studying mechanisms bacteria use to deliver proteins and other factors to specific cells in their environment to then incorporate findings into the design of targeted drug delivery devices.
Yes, Angela Brown
