1 | Radhakrishnan, Sridharan | Development of Low-Cost system for Myoelectric Prosthesis Control | The upper limb prosthetics field has advanced to where artificial hands can mimic human motions based on electrical signals emitted from muscular activation and can even open and close proportionate to the amplitude of signal they receive. However, these prostheses are very expensive, with some cost... | 2020 | ||
2 | Luo, Shirley | Development of a bioabsorbalbe active release antimicrobial coating for orthopedic implants | Orthopedic implantations often create an opportunity for biofilm-related infections to arise. Patients infected with biofilm must often undergo additional surgeries for repair or replacement, which puts them at a greater risk of osteomyelitis, sepsis, and other complications including death [17].

3 | Adams, Samuel I. | Correcting acoustic phase aberrations in focused ultrasound treatments for breast cancer | Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer worldwide. Early-stage localized cancers are currently treated with surgical lumpectomy and radiation. Focused ultrasound is a disruptive technology that can replace conventional surgical and radiation therapies to provide noninvasive cancer treatment. This... | 2021 | ||
4 | Armstrong, Blair P. | Lower critical solution temperature behavior of elastin-coiled-coil polymer, a potential platform for treatment of non-hodgkin's lymphoma | Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma takes the lives of 20,000 Americans each year. When traditional therapies fail, clinicians have turned to a drug, rituximab, for treatment. However, rituximab is now curative for less than 50% of patients and new treatments are needed. Drug-free macromolecular therapeutics (DF... | 2021 |
