USC researchers have developed custom, 3D-printed MRI sensors that take minutes to make at a fraction of the cost and give doctors clearer views of small organs in infants and children. Some of medicine’s smallest patients can present… Keep reading
USC researchers have developed customizable brain implants that could provide a clearer view of memory, movement, emotion and other complex functions Picture eavesdropping on conversations happening in three rooms at once, but your only microphone is bolted to… Keep reading
Clinical translation was the stated theme of the biomedical devices and imaging session at the Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering‘s 50th anniversary symposium Sept. 3. The department, jointly part of USC Viterbi School of Engineering and Keck School… Keep reading
After decades of research, Ostrow faculty member Janet Moradian-Oldak prepares to bring a short peptide that can generate a biomimetic version of tooth enamel to market. As a scientist arriving at USC in 1992, she was looking to… Keep reading
Cutting-edge technologies developed by USC researchers are changing not just the pace of Alzheimer’s disease discoveries but also the ways scientists make those discoveries. Imagine reading a book letter by letter instead of chapter by chapter. Focusing solely… Keep reading
The USC Stevens Translation Catalyst Awards support proof of concept research to advance technologies from lab to product What if a device the size of a smartphone could screen every newborn for jaundice in three minutes? What if… Keep reading
NIH’s new $12.5 million grant supports the next phase of AI4AD, a national effort to use AI, brain imaging, genetics, and multi-omics data to better classify Alzheimer’s and related diseases, predict progression, and identify new treatment targets. The… Keep reading
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most enigmatic brain afflictions and among the greatest health care challenges facing the nation. It affects more than 7 million Americans — a number projected to double by 2060. This article is the… Keep reading
