Science & Technology

Advances in medical imaging and artificial intelligence have revolutionized many aspects of medical practice, but it can be hard to know if a given measurement tool works as intended. A technique developed by WashU researchers can be used to assess the reliability of quantitative imaging tools.

McKelvey Engineering researchers, led by James Friend, developed an acoustofluidic device to move fluid faster than diffusion.

Thomas Kannampallil, a professor of anesthesiology at WashU Medicine, is recognized for his expertise in AI-based technology designed to improve healthcare.

As the fall semester approaches, WashU’s AI initiative is driving academic innovation across schools and disciplines.

Research from Amit Pathak’s lab at WashU McKelvey Engineering shows how cells can sense even the smallest defects, or micro-injuries — work that could help develop treatments for wound healing and cancer.

Aaron F. Bobick, dean of the McKelvey School of Engineering and the James M. McKelvey Professor at Washington University in St. Louis, will conclude his deanship on June 30, after successfully serving the university for 12 years in his role, Chancellor Andrew D. Martin announced.

A new master’s degree in artificial intelligence engineering will be offered at WashU McKelvey Engineering starting in fall 2027.

WashU Medicine ophthalmology researchers Aaron Y. Lee, MD (left), and Cecilia Lee, MD, received the Cogan Award from the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology for their contributions to vision science and ophthalmic research.

Gang Wu at the McKelvey School of Engineering has developed a potential fuel-cell solution for powering data centers or transportation.

WashU biomedical researchers Yifan Dai, Rohit Pappu and collaborators have discovered “condenzymes” that contribute biochemical functions in cells.
