Professor Ioannis Yannas, pioneer of regenerative medicine who invented artificial skin for the treatment of severe burns, dies at 90 October 28, 2025 A beloved member of the Department of Mechanical Engineering for nearly 60 years, and an HST faculty member, Yannas helped saved the lives of thousands of burn victims through his research and innovation. IMES community profile: Emily Loveland October 28, 2025 Emily Loveland is an HST Academic Programs Specialist who enjoys working with students, and tackles a wide range of duties for the HST academic office. In a surprising discovery, scientists find tiny loops in the genomes of dividing cells October 20, 2025 Enabled by a new high-resolution mapping technique, the findings overturn a long-held belief that the genome loses its 3D structure when cells divide. Three questions for Tania Lopez Silva: Developing advanced biomaterials for biomedical applications September 26, 2025 Tania Lopez Silva designs advanced biomaterials that mimic and interact with the immune system and other biological environments. IMES community profile: Joshua Marchant September 25, 2025 HST MEMP student Joshua Marchant is working on the development of a novel MRI-informed computational modeling strategy with the ability to predict the local distribution of intravenously delivered drugs in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) Meet the gravity suit September 23, 2025 From the Aerospace Physiology Lab, led by IMES core faculty member Lonnie Petersen, comes new research that will help keep astronauts safe in spaceflight MIT researchers develop AI tool to improve flu vaccine strain selection August 29, 2025 VaxSeer uses machine learning to predict virus evolution and antigenicity, aiming to make vaccine selection more accurate and less reliant on guesswork. IMES community profile: Shaniel Bowen August 29, 2025 Biomedical engineer Shaniel Bowen combines research into female sexual anatomy and health, with steering young women toward STEM careers. Imaging tech promises deepest looks yet into living brain tissue at single-cell resolution August 28, 2025 By combining several cutting-edge imaging technologies, a new microscope system could enable unprecedentedly deep and precise visualization of metabolic and neuronal activity, potentially even in humans. Meet Alex Shalek, director of the Institute for Medical Engineering and Science August 28, 2025 For Shalek, institutes like IMES are all about creating cohesive units “greater than the sum of their parts.” Pagination First page « First Previous page Previous Page 1 Current page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 … Next page Next Last page Last » Side navigation News Events
