Veteran Nicole Haikalis has worked hard double-majoring in biomedical engineering and neuroscience while overcoming challenges and advocating for her peers.

Research

Academia and industry collaborate on solutions to neural disease and injury

The Building Reliable Advances and Innovation in Neurotechnology (BRAIN) Center is an Industry/University Collaborative Research Center at Arizona State University and the University of Houston. This partnership allows rigorous testing of efficacy, safety and long-term reliability of neurotechnology that would not be otherwise possible within the traditional ‘silos’ of academic, industry, regulatory and clinical communities.

Convergence Podcast

Assistant Professors Barbara Smith and Rosalind Sadleir discuss the scientific and societal impact of their research. Dr. Smith talks about how her new FLAME tool is helping navigate the deep brain, and Dr. Sadleir discusses measuring electrical conductivity to lead to better disease diagnostics through neural tissue imaging.

A conversation with Xiaojun Tian, Mehdi Nikkhah and David Brafman

Assistant Professor Xiaojun Tian, Associate Professor Mehdi Nikkhah and Assistant Professor David Brafman discuss their work in synthetic biology, microscale modeling and regenerative medicine.

Assistant Professors Benjamin Bartelle and Scott Beeman discuss advances in noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging and how it can be used to detect inflammation and quantify biologic structures and functions. 

Venture Devils Demo Day

Biomedical engineering venture wins big at ASU Demo Day

A senior capstone design group ended with the formation of Captavate. Abyssinia Bizuneh’s venture was the big winner at ASU’s spring 2023 Demo Day pitch competition on April 22, scoring $40,000 in funding. The Captavate team then went on to receive honorable mention at the 2023 National Institutes of Health Design by Biomedical Undergraduate Teams, or DEBUT, Challenge.
