Cardiac Regeneration

Injectable Hydrogel

by

Project Description Around 20% of people who suffer a heart attack will progress to heart failure within five years due to the damage inflicted to the cardiac tissue. The cardiac regeneration therapy project was focused on preventing the onset of heart failure by further developing an injectable hydrogel with Dr. Kevin Healy, Department of Bioengineering… Read More »

A Novel Device for Organ Preservation

Cryopreservation

by

Project Description Long-term preservation of biological organs using cryopreservation (sub-zero temperature preservation) techniques could revolutionize organ transplantation. Currently the average preservation time of kidneys, livers, and hearts are 72, 8, and 6 hours, respectively. Increasing this time will allow for the transplantation of vital organs to thousands of individuals that need help, and also slow the… Read More »

NoScope

A powerful tool for microscopy

by

Project Description NoScope is an inexpensive and powerful lensless imaging system capable of producing 2D and 3D images of microscopic objects. The simplicity and robustness of this lensless system has significant benefits, including a lower price and increased portability. By leveraging light field and tomographic algorithms, the system consolidates images of an object, taken from multiple angles,… Read More »

Prosper

Peer-to-Peer Lending
