Integrated Portable Pneumatically Powered Ankle-Foot Orthosis

 

Below the knee muscle weakness, defined by weak dorsiflexor (shin) or plantarflexor (calf) muscle groups, can result from a variety of physical impairments or...

Distributed Feedback Laser Biosensor

 

A biosensor based upon a vertically emitting, distributed feedback (DFB) laser. The DFB laser comprises a replica-molded, one- or two-dimensional dielectric...

Bioresorbable Silicon Electronics for Neural Sensing

Dr. John Rogers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has developed bioresorbable silicon electronics that can be used for real-time sensing of neural...

Quantum Dots with Thin Coatings that Allow for Efficient Bioconjugation

Dr. Andrew Smith from the University of Illinois has developed new quantum dots with a multidentate polymer coating that minimizes size while maintaining stability and...

Algorithm Modified Deoxynybomycin for the Treatment of Gram-Negative Bacteria

Dr. Hergenrother from the University of IL has developed a novel antibiotic that is effective against certain antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria. His powerful...

Project Multiband, Multishot Magnetic Resonance Elastography Pulse Sequence

 

 

This is an imaging technique designed for estimating the stiffness of tissues non-invasively. This technology can be used to understand a wide array of...

New Drug to Reverse Alzheimer’s Disease

 

Dr. Moore has developed a new drug that could reverse the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. The drug breaks up amyloid fibrils, which are believed to be the root cause...

Measuring Blood Vessel Characteristics of Suspected Alzheimer Patients

Dr. Sutton has developed MRI protocols for diagnosing microvascular blood velocity and microvascular segment length. These protocols can be used to diagnose and track...

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging of Brain DNA Methylation

Drs. Li, Robinson, Liang, Silverman and Mr. Lam from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new noninvasive method of measuring epigenetic changes...

Detection of Neurotransmitters via Interfacial pH Modulated Assisted Ion Transfer
