Why Biomedical Engineering?

 

Jill Higginson, BMEG 310 where students are performing "tests" on leg bones.

Biomedical engineering applies fundamental engineering principles to the study of biology, medicine and health. Our undergraduate program provides a broad background in chemical, mechanical, materials science and electrical engineering, and it prepares students for careers in biomedical research with a quantitative engineering emphasis. It is also designed to provide students with sufficient coursework for advanced training at graduate, medical or physical therapy schools or in other allied health professions. Our graduate program builds upon the established biomedical research strength at the University and trains future generations of researchers and professionals who will play a key role in multi- and interdisciplinary teams that bridge the gap between engineering and the biological sciences.

Diagram of mammalian lung

Jason Gleghorn has received a three-year grant from the Biomechanics and Mechanobiology Program of the National Science Foundation to study smooth muscle contractions that occur in the developing mammalian lung. This research will determine the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying airway smooth muscle contractions and their role in airway branching. Deeper understanding of the mechanisms that cause the growth of the airways is of importance for understanding lung development in general and also for predicting, preventing, and repairing structural birth defects.

Day lab paper describes new approach to enhance chemotherapy with nanotechnology

BME_Day_Slater_Price-013

(Left to Right): Brittany Fay, Jilian Melamed, Emily Day

Students in Dr. Emily Day’s research group have published a paper in the International Journal of Nanomedicine describing a new way to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy. Chemotherapy resistance in cancer is often attributed to cancer cells’ ability to keep drugs outside the cell. The Day lab has shown that this resistance mechanism can be overcome by heating cancer cells with photothermal therapy, a technique in which nanoparticles delivered to cancer cells produce heat upon exposure to light. The Day lab’s results demonstrate that applying heat to cancer cells with photothermal therapy can increase drug accumulation in the cells, which in turn improves treatment effect. The student co-authors on the paper include Brittany Fay, who received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at UD in May 2015, and Jilian Melamed, current Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. student. This research was supported by an Institutional Development Award (IDeA) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), by the Delaware INBRE program with a grant from NIGMS of the NIH, by the University of Delaware Summer Scholars Program, and by the Department of Defense through a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship.

Gleghorn’s work published in PNAS

 

Jason Gleghorn

A paper co-authored by BME faculty member Jason Gleghorn appears in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, published July 28, 2015.  The paper entitled “Mechanically patterning the embryonic airway epithelium” uses a combination of 3D culture experiments and theoretical modeling to understand how the airways within the developing lung form such complex and repeatable architectures that are conserved within a given species and critical for survival.  They identified a growth-induced buckling mechanism that can control the initiation and pattern of new epithelial branches.  Tuning epithelial growth changes the wavelength of the bucking instability and thereby the branching pattern. These findings emphasize the role of mechanical forces during morphogenesis and indicate that in addition to genetic programs, physical cues also regulate the spatially patterned cell behaviors that underlie organ assembly in the embryo.

Day paper chosen for Genes & Development cover

GD coverA paper co-authored by Emily Day, “miR-182 integrates apoptosis, growth, and differentiation programs in glioblastoma”, has been selected as the cover of an upcoming issue of Genes & Development. The paper identifies a small RNA molecule called miR-182 that can suppress cancer-causing genes in mice with glioblastoma mulitforme (GBM), a deadly and incurable type of brain tumor. The researchers used nanoparticles called spherical nucleic acids to safely deliver miR-182 across the blood-brain/blood-tumor barriers to reach tumor cells where they directly suppressed multiple oncogenes at once, increasing cancer cell death, reducing tumor growth, and improving overall survival. This approach offers a novel strategy for therapeutic intervention in GBM.

Day group publishes invited perspective

Emily Day, Engineering.Emily Day’s research group has published an invited perspective in ACS Nano that overviews nanoparticle-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) and discusses recent insights into the mechanisms of cell death induced by this technique. PTT utilizes nanoparticles embedded within tumors to convert laser light energy into heat to ablate cancer cells. Depending on the laser irradiation conditions, PTT produces either necrosis or apoptosis, two distinct modes of cell death that impact therapy success differently. New information on the cellular signaling pathways involved in the PTT response provides researchers with a unique opportunity to enhance PTT’s successful elimination of cancer. Day recently received an ACCEL grant for breast cancer therapy using nanotechnology.
