Quantifying vascular remodeling is beautiful! So beautiful that it earned Anthony Bruce a 1st in the "UVA Engineering is Beautiful Dean’s Research Art Contest" 🏆 @UVADeanJWest @PeirceLab @UVAEngineers
Fluorescent labeling of endothelial and mural cells in blood vessels within muscle tissue allows for quantification of vascular remodeling occurring in response to induced blood flow changes. This technique helps us to better understand the body's response to vascular diseases. In this example, the vascular mural cell marker used is also present on cells in nerves.

“...biotechnology at this institution also encompasses engineering new technologies and devices, not necessarily organisms, that improve human health. Such research has an eye toward helping patients right from the start.” - @rpriceUVA @PriceLabUVaBME news.virginia.edu/content/wh…

What Is Biotechnology? Where Is It Headed at UVA?

With the announcement of the Paul and Diane Manning Institute of Biotechnology, we asked a biomedical engineer what exactly “biotech” is and what potential it holds.

Congratulations to @mccrady_allison for an “ultra”impressive PhD proposal presentation describing her nicely "form"ed ideas to use ultrasound and modeling to study neuromuscular disease! She also won 1st place at the @UVaBTP symposium poster competition! #onaroll #muscleiscool

Our hearts are broken at the loss of three members of our community, Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D’Sean Perry and our two UVA students currently receiving care from our medical center. Our #UVA family truly appreciates all the support from all over the country today. 🧡
