200,000 square-foot structure represents largest-ever on Case Quad—and first to offer welcoming view to Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

More than 500 undergraduate students at Case Western Reserve University took to the Veale Convocation, Recreation and Athletic Center to present their research and creative projects at Intersections, a poster session hosted by the Support of Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (SOURCE) office.

Cleveland Clinic, IBM unveil world’s first healthcare-focused quantum computer; Case Western Reserve, others gain computing access, contribute student pipeline

Even as biomedical engineer Anirban Sen Gupta refines artificial platelets to stem traumatic bleeding, he and his colleagues are seeking new uses for their synthetic solution. The latest application to show promise involves providing synthetic platelets to treat a genetic condition that prevents blood from clotting, Von Willebrand disease (VWD). The most common of all bleeding disorders, VWD is found in up to 1% of the U.S. population (roughly 3 million people), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

On March 26, the CBS News program 60 Minutes featured groundbreaking work led by Case Western Reserve University researchers Dustin Tyler and A. Bolu Ajiboye—biomedical engineering pioneers who are bringing a renewed sense of touch to amputees and people with paralysis, using neuroprosthetics.

Vishnu Ramasamy is well versed in working with 3D printers. He’s even worked on building one that is capable of 3D printing wind turbine blades. Now, he’s taking the next step, designing and building the Arc One, an open-source low-cost, modular machine that 3D prints metal using Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM)—a production process used to 3D print or repair metal parts.

Eight researchers affiliated with Case Western Reserve University have been named senior members of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI)—the largest class ever from the university—and from any member institution since the academy began the awards in 2018.

University of Maryland leads team of multiple universities and biotech companies; CWRU to evaluate and optimize synthetic blood products

Sometime next summer, on the second floor of a research building on the Case Western Reserve University campus, scientists hope to record something the world has never witnessed: The moment of impact when an 18-millimeter-diameter projectile hits a wall of water at 9,000 miles per hour. What will occur in that instant and in the subsequent milliseconds—expected to be captured in detail by high-speed cameras—is a tantalizing mix of “knowns, unknowns and what-if’s,” according to Bryan Schmidt, the project’s lead researcher.

Case Western Reserve University researchers Sanford “Sandy” Markowitz and Dustin Tyler have been elected fellows of The National Academy of Inventors (NAI). The honor highlights the overall career and impact individual inventors have had in their field and society.
