Eli Zunder’s New National Institutes of Health RO1 Award

The findings could ultimately help researchers find better ways to regenerate damaged nerve tissue and produce more effective non-opioid painkillers.

The Story of How a Broadly Useful Cardiac Imaging Technique Comes to an MRI Scanner Near You

For the last 15 years, Epstein and the researchers in his group have been the world leaders in developing a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging technology that can directly measure...

Imagine if muscle stem cells could be harvested from the patient, cultured, and then 3-D printed onto a biocompatible substrate, where they would be stretched and exercised to grow and mature to produce a foldable tissue patch that would then be implanted at the muscle wound site.

Three of the graduate teachers who emerged as the University's best are UVA Engineers: Kristen Fread and Laura Dunphy in Biomedical Engineering and Sarah Gustitus-Graham in Engineering Systems and Environment.

Are you self-driven, independent and interested in computational modeling and data science?

This unusual summer, the University of Virginia is hosting a “virtual” version of our NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU).

Richard J. Price, who holds joint faculty appointments in UVA’s schools of Medicine and Engineering, is using focused soundwaves to overcome the natural “blood-brain barrier,” which protects the brain from harmful pathogens. His approach aims to breach the barrier only where needed, and only when...
