Our mission is to enhance human health and healthcare outcomes across all levels. We achieve this by utilizing biomechanical modeling to monitor the spread of cancer, which helps us measure the forces between cells and understand the force required for cell migration and movement. In addition, we conduct research on viruses at the particle level to effectively remove contaminants from cells, which is essential for improving vaccine stability, enabling wider distribution and availability. Furthermore, we develop microfabrication techniques that protect cartilage cells from stress, allowing them to recover, maintain, or regenerate their cellular properties post-injury.
Michigan Tech is at the forefront of advancements in various fields such as tissue engineering and imaging. For example, the university has made significant progress in increasing energy efficiency through the use of neuromorphic chips. Additionally, Michigan Tech has played a crucial role in diagnosing COVID-19 by conducting 40,000 diagnostic tests. The university is also actively involved in identifying and treating health issues like atrial fibrillation and unruptured brain aneurysms that impact millions of individuals in the US.
