Using “Theranostics” To Treat Cancer

Kubelick develops imaging tools to track the movement and efficacy of T cells deployed in cancer therapies, aiming ultimately to enhance the cells’ defensive abilities.

Researchers hope to find shared traits and weaknesses in bacteria that develop resistance to antibiotics and use those weaknesses against them. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem around the world.

From the "Making of Medicine" blog: Jason Papin, PhD, is one of the developers of a sophisticated new computer model that will help produce safer medications.

UVA researchers say they have found a biological process that contributes to the disease and may be a target for life-saving therapies.

New research adds to the discussion about whether there’s such a thing as “healthy obesity” and for whom it applies. UVA scientists found clues in genetics.

Finding Answers for Patients and Families Affected by Neurodevelopmental Disorders

At UVA, Bajikar will blend biomedical engineering and computational biosciences to study the ‘Goldilocks genes’ behind neurodevelopmental disorders like Rett syndrome.

Applicant review will begin December 1, 2023.

Housed both in the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Medicine, the department's unique positioning provides a collaborative and translational...

A UVA Student Is On a Quest To Save Lives Through Biological Modeling

Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. student Taylor Eggertsen is using biological modeling tools to find a medicine that could prevent heart failure.

These fellowships support exceptional students through their first year in the chemical engineering Ph.D. program.
