Research in the labs of Nate Huebsch and Guy Genin at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis creates software to enable experiments for learning how electrical and mechanical heart functions relate. Their study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Washington University in St. Louis is leading a new effort to address the grand challenge of developing the next generation of high-performance, sustainably sourced and biodegradable plastics that advance engineering while also protecting the environment.

"Current experiments in the laboratory are evaluating how suture spacing inspired by hitchhiker plants affects rotator cuff repair strength."

For most people, getting burrs stuck to your clothes during a hike is nothing more than a nuisance, something to pick off and throw out when you get home.

A team of researchers led by Guy Genin, at the Center for Engineering MechanoBiology and the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, explores new approaches to surgical tendon-to-bone repair.

A new diagnostic test is 10X better than state-of-the-art tests used during the COVID pandemic, researchers say.

A team led by Srikanth Singamaneni in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis developed a new point-of-care diagnostic test that is 1,000 times more sensitive than conventional rapid tests and can quantify concentrations of proteins.
