For more than a decade Matt Lang and collaborators across the U.S. have worked to recreate key components of T-cells and how they know when to start fighting disease. Conventional wisdom suggested that T-cells formed regular, force-free bonds with infected cells, and in doing so caused the chain reaction of… Read More

A new, $8.7 million project—Design. R–AI-assisted CPS Design—involves pathbreaking work for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency as future cyber-physical systems will rely less on human control and more machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence processors. Smart grid, driver-assist and autonomous automobile systems, health and biomedical monitoring, smart cities, robotics systems,… Read More

Vanderbilt researchers awarded one of NSF’s 24 new projects to drive future manufacturing One of the challenges of drug delivery systems is to optimize their targeting properties so therapeutic compounds used in smaller amounts reach only a specific area of the body and result in little or no… Read More

BIOMEDICAL IMAGING AND BIOPHOTONICS Vanderbilt engineering researchers have developed a first-of-its kind ultrathin filter that processes images at the speed of light and supports direct imaging of an object’s boundaries. Their work marks a significant breakthrough in using optics for image processing and holds transformative potential for applications in… Read More

A significant component of the cost of an MRI system has been the massive superconducting magnet to produce a strong radiofrequency current and the bulky system that keeps it cool. The magnet for a 3-Tesla scanner, for example, weighs more than 12,000 pounds. Researchers will use a low-field MRI lab… Read More
