- - Mar 27, 2018 Virginia Tech researchers examine role of fluid flow in ovarian cancer progression
    New research from Virginia Tech is moving physicians closer to pinpointing a predictor of ovarian cancer, which could lead to earlier diagnosis of what is known as the "silent killer."
- - Mar 26, 2018 Newly discovered mode of drinking in mosquitoes carries biomedical implications
    When an international team of scientists, including several at Virginia Tech, wanted to observe the underlying mechanisms of how the insects feed, they had to get creative.
- - Feb 20, 2018 Student research team accelerates snow melt with 'Melt Mat'
    A Virginia Tech, undergraduate student research team has discovered the solution, both for municipalities looking to save millions and also for the homeowner hoping to avoid snow shovel duty: the Melt Mat.
- - Feb 14, 2018 A graduate student, a crash test dummy, and building safer cars
    Devon Albert, a fourth-year doctoral student in the department of biomedical engineering and mechanics, sends crash-test dummies through simulated automotive collisions to evaluate how well they predict human injury risk.
- - Feb 08, 2018 Virginia Tech to offer biomechanics and biological transport research experience for undergraduates
    The department of biomedical engineering and mechanics at Virginia Tech is teaming up with plant pathology, physiology, and weed science to offer a biomechanics and biological transport research experience for undergraduates (REU) during the summer of 2018.
- - Feb 01, 2018 Collaborative grant takes on brain cancer cell invasion
    Researcher Jennifer Munson’s lab at Virginia Tech will collaborate with researchers at the University of Virginia and the University of Michigan for the duration of a five-year grant, which will examine the role of interstitial fluid flow in glioma cell invasion.
- - Jan 29, 2018 Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute partners with INSIGHTEC to research focused ultrasound technology
    Researchers at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute (VTCRI) are partnering with INSIGHTEC to develop noninvasive treatments for brain disorders using Exablate Neuro focused ultrasound and Siemens MR imaging.
- - Jan 24, 2018 Researchers use data on same-sex marriage legislation to examine opinion formation, public policy
    Researchers in Virginia Tech’s Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics recently used advanced mathematics and computational modeling to analyze opinion trends surrounding notable public policy.
- - Jan 24, 2018 In Memoriam: Henry Tieleman, professor emeritus of engineering science and mechanics
    Henry W. Tieleman, professor emeritus of engineering science and mechanics at Virginia Tech, died Jan. 12. He was 84.
- - Jan 18, 2018 Virginia Tech researchers attack cancers, Parkinson's with electrical fields
    Virginia Tech researchers are enabling doctors to treat brain tumors once considered inoperable using irreversible electroporation. Irreversible electroporation, developed by BEAM professor Rafael Davalos and his team, opens a cancer cell’s pores, which allows for medicine to be better received by the cell.
