As we make the leap into March, enjoy a look back at how we spent February at the University of Rochester—from snow to sun and everything in between.

Rochester is one of four NIH-sponsored centers that aims to produce tissue-on-chip devices as FDA-qualified drug development tools.

Whitney Gegg-Harrison, Jack Downey, and James McGrath approach undergraduate teaching at Rochester in distinctive ways that resonate with their students.

The biomedical engineering professor’s approach has spillover effects beyond the signature undergraduate course he’s taught for 20 years.

Biomedical engineering student Sophea Urbi Biswas explores how the brain processes speech syntax—and discovers the benefits of conducting research as an undergraduate.

The new imaging system developed by Michael Giacomelli, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering and of optics, uses two-photon fluorescence microscopy (TPFM).

Six Rochester researchers have received the National Science Foundation’s most esteemed recognition for early-career faculty members.

The inexpensive, portable device could help safeguard against future pandemics and detect viruses and infections in underserved populations.

An internal funding program, plus the close proximity of the University’s engineering and medical facilities, promotes progress in a potential treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.

Despite recent advances in hearing aid technology, users frequently complain that the devices tend to amplify all the sounds around them. Rochester researcher Jong-Noon Nam believes a key part of the answer to this problem lies inside the cochlea of the inner ear.
