One of just 16 universities nationwide selected as a translational research partner in biomedical engineering by the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation.
Biomedical Application Areas
It’s in the Genes: Weight and Metabolism Determined by Genetics More Than Diet
New research by a biomedical engineering Ph.D. student and her UVA team could lead to tailored nutritional programs designed for a person’s genetics.
Simple Scan Can Predict Risks of Serious Heart Problems
UVA biomedical engineering researchers have developed an MRI technique to analyze the fat surrounding a patient’s heart, potentially enabling earlier heart disease interventions.
