WashU electrical engineer Mark Lawrence has received a prestigious CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation. He aims to develop sensors and cameras powered by taking advantage of the properties of light.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are developing ways to convert carbon monoxide into organic acids useful for industry.

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis plans to investigate the neural mechanisms behind various controls of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation in generating different leg movements with a five-year, nearly $3 million grant the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

A scientist at Washington University in St. Louis has received a grant from the Alzheimer’s Association to support his research investigating the electrochemistry of neurotoxic protein assemblies.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are developing a wearable device that aims to track blood loss in pregnant women during delivery, with support from a $2.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The device aids in early warning signs for postpartum hemorrhage, a birth complication that is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide.
