Mechanical Engineering Professor Franck Vernerey, Assistant Mechanical Engineering Professor Carson Bruns and ATLAS Institute received $477,000 from the National Science Foundation to begin this three-year project in January 2021. Their research may one day enable soft machines to fully integrate with our bodies to deliver drugs, target tumors, or repair aging or dysfunctional tissue.

Led by professors Jianliang Xiao and Wei Zhang, researchers are developing a wearable electronic device that鈥檚 鈥渞eally wearable鈥濃�攁 stretchy and fully-recyclable circuit board that鈥檚 inspired by, and sticks onto, human skin.

The company was co-founded by CTO Dana Anderson, who is also a fellow of JILA and professor in the department of physics and electrical & computer engineering.

MyoKardia was co-founded by Leslie Leinwand, Distinguished Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and developmental Biology at CU 麻豆影院's BioFrontiers Institute, in 2012. Leinwand and her research lab continue to collaborate with the company, currently on finding new treatments for rare genetic diseases.

Researchers at CU 麻豆影院 and CU Anschutz have developed a new way to diagnose diseases of the blood like sickle cell disease with sensitivity and precision and in only one minute.

The company was recently awarded $225,000 through the National Science Foundation鈥檚 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and $310,000 through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These awards will allow the company to further technologies in the field of gastroenterology, specifically their C-Tube product line that incorporates proprietary Pillar鈩� micro-texture technology.

Colorado State University chemistry professor Garrett Miyake began his work on these processes when he was on the faculty at the CU 麻豆影院 where Chern-Hooi Lim (now New Iridium CEO) was a post-doctoral researcher in his lab. The technology being used now is jointly owned by CSU and CU and is undergoing review for a patent.

Wieman, a former 25-year physics professor at CU 麻豆影院 and current Stanford physics professor, was the founder of CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 award-winning PhET Interactive Simulations project. Working with Kathy Perkins, director of PhET and a faculty member in CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 Department of Physics, Wieman will use the prize money to support PhET鈥檚 mission to advance STEM education globally.

"We are humbled to receive this recognition from an esteemed research firm such as Frost & Sullivan," said Michael Hurowitz, chief executive officer and chief technology officer for OMS, a CU 麻豆影院 spinoff. "Our passion and vision is to develop earth observation technology that can have a tremendous impact on humanity in terms of safety, security, and prosperity."

ASTRAlite, a spinout of CU 麻豆影院, developed the world's first small-scale topographic and bathymetric scanning LiDAR that can detect small underwater objects, measure shallow water depth and survey critical underwater infrastructure from a small UAV platform.
