WashU will launch a doctoral program in neuroengineering in fall 2027, one of only a few in the United States.

Research in Jon Silva’s lab at WashU McKelvey Engineering highlights the importance of genetic testing for precision medicine.

A multi-institutional team, including Chongjie Zhang at WashU McKelvey Engineering, developed a new method that enables robots to achieve intentions shown by their peers.

Researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at WashU have developed a new method to understand information in complex systems, which can be applied toward development of unmanned aerial vehicles.

Eleven WashU faculty members are among the new fellows selected by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, one of the most distinct honors in the scientific community.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found that diamond dust is not a suitable particle for stratospheric aerosol injection that could cool the Earth.

The phrase “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” is doubly true for SWARM, the WashU Robotics Club team on the cutting edge of modular robotics. The team’s 15 members are working to create robots that can come together or break apart to accomplish difficult or dangerous tasks. 

A new adaptive model created at WashU improves surgical predictions across evolving patient populations.

WashU engineering researcher Yifan Dai was named to Forbes’ “30 under 30” science list for contributions to global cellular physiology.

Super-resolution functional photoacoustic microscopy, a new technique developed at WashU, allows researchers to image blood flow and oxygenation at single-cell resolution. The research could provide insight into microvascular health and disease, such as stroke, vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
