Brittany Taylor, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida, has been selected for a prestigious K12 Career Development Award, supported through the National Institutes of Health’s Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) recently granted to UF and Florida State University.

A new study published in Cell Reports, co-led by University of Florida’s J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering associate professor Edward A. Phelps, Ph.D., and College of Veterinary Medicine chair and professor Clayton E. Mathews, Ph.D., reveals that beta cell dysfunction occurs independently of immune cell infiltration in the pancreas during the onset of […]

In a collaboration between UF’s biomedical engineering and neurosurgery departments, UF researchers are testing the potential of nanoparticle imaging to boost cancer immunity.

A recent study featuring research by University of Florida Engineering Professor Wesley Bolch, Ph.D., links exposure to radiation from medical imaging to a small-but-significant risk of blood cancers among children and adolescents.

Intensive care units (ICUs) in the United States admit over five million patients annually, with mortality rates ranging from 10% to 29%. Given that a patient’s condition can change rapidly, early detection of deterioration is crucial for enabling timely interventions and improving outcomes. While existing systems provide some guidance, they are often manual and offer […]

University of Florida researchers along with BME professor Dr. Kevin J. Otto are helping the National Institutes of Health build a 3D cellular map of the human body showing how tissues and organs differ on a cellular level. Otto along with a multidisciplinary team at UF Health were awarded a $5.1 million grant as part […]
