A specialized ink hardens when exposed to focused ultrasound waves, transforming into structures that can be used for purposes ranging from bone healing to heart valve repair. Read more about the transformative work.

New computational models from Amanda Randles can simulate the movements of a single cancerous cell and digitally mimic an entire week's worth of an individual's heartbeats. Find out how.

An adaptive form of deep brain stimulation with twice the number of electrodes improved the symptoms of Parkinson's disease in six patients. Discover the promise of this new approach.

A CRISPR-based platform identified many genes that could potentially improve T-cell therapies for cancer treatment. Read all about this exciting new research.

By pairing a 'teaching' algorithm with a 'student' algorithm, machine learning can become more efficient and effective. Check out how this new approach works.

Joel Collier and Tatiana Segura received the awards from the Society for Biomaterials for their respective contributions to research and the scientific literature.

Amanda Randles was recognized for using computational models to improve the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of human diseases.

With two NIH awards totaling more than $2.8 million, Daniel Reker will design machine learning models to improve the development of drug delivery tools.

By studying the empty spaces between particles rather than the particles themselves, researchers scan better understand structural stability. Watch our lead researchers use a gumball machine to explain more!

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We've had a successful start to 2024 here in Duke, and I'm thrilled to share the results of our community's hard work.

With transformative research spanning computational modeling, machine learning, neural engineering, genome engineering and biomedical imaging, we've hit ground running in the new year. Please enjoy reading about this exciting work from our always-impressive community, and stay tuned as we tackle new challenges in the year to come.

Joseph A. Izatt
Chair, Duke BME
Michael J. Fitzpatrick Distinguished Professor
