Vahdat, an assistant professor in the Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE) Department of Bioengineering, received the honor at the 26th annual UC Systemwide Bioengineering Symposium, held Aug. 22-23 at UC Santa Cruz. The award recognizes outstanding scholarly achievement among early-career UC bioengineering faculty.
Nearly two decades before the approval of a daily oral GLP-1 pill for weight management, UC Riverside bioengineering professor Jiayu Liao contributed to research demonstrating that a nonpeptide molecule could activate the GLP-1 receptor and produce biological effects in animals.
UC Riverside Associate Professor of Bioengineering Jia Guo has developed a new way to reconstruct magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans that could improve the reliability of blood flow measurements when MRI signals are extremely weak.
Chen’s research program focuses on developing bioengineering and biosensing approaches for food safety, environmental monitoring, and clinical diagnostics, with a particular interest in CRISPR-Cas protein engineering. The new USDA-funded project builds on that work by applying molecular detection tools to a major food-safety challenge.
A new collaborative research project led by UC Riverside bioengineering professor Jiayu Liao has received a $100,000 award from the City of Hope-UC Riverside Biomedical Research Initiative (CUBRI-UCR) to advance a promising approach for discovering next-generation therapies for cancer and other diseases.
Four UC Riverside students and alumni have earned National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships, one of the nation’s most competitive honors for emerging researchers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Over three days, participants stepped into the role of future faculty, presenting research, engaging with academic leaders, and navigating the complexities of the faculty hiring process.
Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from across the country found the support and guidance through a new FAME program geared to recruit and mentor future faculty mentors.
Department of Bioengineering assistant professor Shahab Vahdat uses magnetic resonance imaging and neurostimulation to develop cutting-edge treatments for people who have suffered ischemic strokes.
Five bioengineering majors describe the success factors that empowered them to turn their Senior Design project into an award-winning, innovation that could revolutionize hearing-loss diagnostics.
