Collaborators from the University of Virginia visit BEAM researcher Jenny Munson for a little shared lab time. Using a microfluidic chip developed by Rebecca Pompano's lab, the researchers induced interstitial flow in small splices of brain. Eventually, they'll use these devices to study flow in glioblastoma, or brain … 

What is biomechanics? What career paths are available in this field? Can you jump up and down on one foot with your eyes closed? Local high students found answers to these questions and more during April’s 2018 National Biomechanics Day festivities, hosted by the Granata Lab in the College of Engineering.

Biomedical engineering and mechanics researcher Jennifer Munson and her team discuss their work examining interstitial fluid flow in brain cancer cell invasion. Munson has received a $2.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to collaborate with the University of Virginia and the University of … 

Undergraduate students in Professor Vincent Wang's Engineering Analysis of Physiologic Systems class participate in a lab where they utilized an EKG (ECG) prototype which uses electrodes placed on the body to measure patterns of electrical activity in the heart. This is the type of interactive learning exercise … 

Julia Wakefield, a Biomedical Engineering major in the Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics department found purpose in service and working with the local community. ENABLE, a club at Virginia Tech gave Wakefield an outlet to create prosthetics for youth in need.
