Nearly half of physical therapy patients are ages 65 and above. Older bodies often have unique needs for therapy, but they’re not necessarily treated with different approaches than younger patients. To get better results, all it might take is a pencil and paper....

SBHSE Assistant Professor Dr. David Brafman and Assistant Professor Dr. Emma Frow published in a paper in the journal Stem Cell Reports, looking at a detailed characterization of nearly 170 direct-to-consumer stem cell businesses across six southwestern states....

SBHSE Assistant Professor Dr. Barbara Smith's development of patch clamp electrophysiology recently appeared in a case study by Scientifica. The lab of Dr. Barbara Smith is the first to incorporate a real-time, photoacoustic feedback system into traditional...

Heather Boysel says the foundation on which she has built a rewarding career in law began forming during an introductory engineering course at Arizona State University. “Even in that intro class, they taught you how to start thinking about things differently,” Boysel...

One of the current paradigms in cancer treatment is not to treat a tumor itself. Rather, therapeutics can focus on a tumor’s microenvironment — the area where tumor cells and a patient’s healthy tissues collide. Mehdi Nikkhah, an assistant professor of biomedical...

Graduate trainees (Masters, PhDs, Post-Doctorate, Medical) are invited to apply to the Neurotechnology Entrepreneurship Workshop hosted in Phoenix, Arizona from December 13-15, 2019. This workshop will provide intensive and rigorous training in the areas of: ideation,...

SBHSE students; Mariam El Sheikha and Kelsey Boos are members of one of three ASU engineering teams headed to London this summer to advance their projects during the PLuS Engineering Summer School, then present them at an international showcase event. Their device is...

As the second leading cause of death worldwide, cancer is a focal point in both clinical research and health care fields, but not all cancers are created equal. Read more on ASU...

Engineers solve some of the world’s biggest problems, but they need more than technical skills to create meaningful solutions. Ambitious students in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University take on more than their engineering degree...
