From Labs to Lives
Groundbreaking Imaging Technology Created through Federal Funding
Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering Simon Cherry co-developed the world’s first total-body PET scanner, thanks to support from the National Institutes of Health. With its increased image clarity and low radiation doses, the technology has transformed how doctors diagnose and treat conditions, such as cancer and heart disease.
Federal Support of Biomedical Research Invests in Health of Americans, National Economy
Professor of Biomedical Engineering Kent Leach's NIH-funded lab develops biomaterials to help the body heal damaged bone, crucial innovations for the 1 in 2 American adults with a musculoskeletal disorder. In 2034, when seniors will outnumber children in the U.S., these breakthroughs will have significant implications for the national economy.
Federally Funded Open Source Software Project Crucial to World Infrastructure
In a recent Labs to Lives video, Professor of Computer Science Vladimir Filkov details his multidisciplinary NSF-funded initiative, which develops AI algorithms and software analysis tools to help open-source software projects stay on sustainable trajectories. These projects are an integral part of innovation in the digital landscape.
