Eko and Mayo Clinic Prove Heart Failure is Detectable at Point of Care Using ECG-Enabled Stethoscope
At the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2019 alumni startup Eko Devices presented results in collaboration with Mayo Clinic demonstrating the use of the DUO digital stethoscope as a heart failure screening tool. This is the first time that a point of care device with a single lead ECG combined with an AI algorithm identified low ejection fraction in patients.
MEng Capstone: Exploring Post-Stroke Neural Recovery Via Exogenous Electromagnetic Field Therapy
Check out a BioE MEng Capstone team’s work on treating stroke with electromagnetic field therapy.
Kassianidou’s cell images featured in CellPress
Striking images showing the intricate beauty of actin network formation taken by Dr. Elena Kassianidou when she was a graduate student in Sanjay Kumar’s lab are featured in the micropatterning edition of the Cell Picture Show at CellPress.
Liana Lareau Named IGI SKCF Faculty Scholar
The UC Berkeley Innovative Genomics Institute has awarded the 2019 Shurl & Kay Curci Foundation Faculty Scholars Program award to Liana Lareau. Lareau will spearhead a novel project using genome editing tools to understand how “silent” mutations—DNA changes that do not alter the amino acid make-up of protein—lead to human disease, and to predict which silent mutations have big effects on human health.
Conboy and Murthy lead new frontiers in gene editing
Professors Murthy and Conboy are featured for their work changing CRISPR to correct, rather than cut, DNA to repair genetic diseases.
