The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME)
The role of the biomedical engineer is to provide answers to problems arising from the study of living systems by employing the methodology and principles of engineering. We are now embarking on the Biomedical Century, and the need for engineers trained in biomedicine is increasing at a tremendous pace.
In September 1997, after an intense planning and review process that involved faculty from both institutions, Georgia Tech joined with Emory University School of Medicine to establish The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME).

The effects of AT-RvD1 delivery on SPM metabolism, myeloid recruitment, and myogenesis in a murine model of Volumetric Muscle Loss injury
Volumetric Muscle Loss injury (VML) is the partial ablation of skeletal muscle, usually on the extremities, sustained through traumatic or surgical means, such as motor vehicle accidents, military combat, or surgical ... -
Differentiation and Proliferation of Therapeutic T cells from umbilical cord blood derived cells
Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide; in 2018, there were 18.1 million new cases and 9.5 million cancer-related deaths. Current methods, such as chemotherapy, have been used for decades and while it is a ... -
An Anti-Influenza Strategy Based on siRNA Approach Targeting the Critical Viral and Host Factors
The influenza virus remains a major public health concern causing significant morbidity and mortality in humans. Vaccination is considered the most effective prevention strategy as antivirals are suboptimal in treating the ... -
The role of action observation in prosthesis learning
When portions of upper limbs are lost, persons with new amputations must re-learn how to exist within the world. This involves training patients on prosthetic devices that aim to replace limb functionality; however, these ... -
Providing Proprioceptive Feedback Via A Simultaneous Skin Stretch And Vibrotactile Haptic Display
This paper presents the development and testing of a non-invasive haptic display that will provide proprioceptive information to a user about the location of the prosthetic device. This is accomplished using a previously ... -
Modeling Aortic Valvular Leaflet Thrombosis Risk Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is the thickening of the aortic valve leaflets in the heart due to calcium buildup. Currently, the most widespread treatment option is transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a minimally ... -
MACHINE LEARNING MODELING OF COVID-19 AND CORONARY HEART DISEASE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH MONITORING AND CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT
Prediction of healthcare trends to improve public health and clinical decision making is a challenge affecting all lives and requires state-of-art mathematical modeling to solve. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in ... -
Rapid Multiplexing of Proteins for Deciphering Spatially Resolved Biophysical Organelle Networks
Organelles play important roles in human health and disease, such as maintaining homeostasis, regulating growth and aging, and generating energy. Organelle diversity in cells not only exists between cell types but also ... -
The Biomechanics of Elephant Trunk Elongation
The elephant trunk is one of the largest, most versatile boneless appendages, dwarfing similar muscular hydrostats such as octopus tentacles and chameleon tongues. Little is known about how an elephant’s large size influences ... -
3D Culture of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in PEG-4MAL Hydrogels Increases Exosome Production with Bacterial Sphingomyelinase Treatment
