In a study published in the journal Communications Engineering, Chongle Pan, an OU professor of computer science and biomedical engineering, and Penghua Wang, a doctoral student in data science and analytics, detail a machine learning model that dramatically accelerates the manufacturing timeline of monoclonal antibodies.
Marmar Moussa, an assistant professor in the School of Computer Science and Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, has received a distinguished U.S. National Science Foundation CAREER award to develop advanced computational tools that could transform how scientists study disease at the cellular level, particularly in cancer and tissue remodeling.
The University of Oklahoma has announced Wei R. Chen, Ph.D., as director of the Peggy and Charles Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME). He has served as Stephenson Chair and professor of SBME and became its interim director last year.
University of Oklahoma assistant professors John Clegg and Rebecca Scott have developed a structured workshop to help biomedical engineering students compete for graduate research fellowships from the National Science Foundation. These efforts have led to a substantial increase in Biomedical Engineering NSF Graduate Research Fellowship applicants and awardees at OU, placing OU biomedical engineering undergraduate students among the nation’s top performers.
During OU’s Summer Bridge program, 54 first-year engineering students applied CAD design, biomechanics and 3D printing to create a custom prosthetic leg for Peebly, a local farmer’s goose that lost a limb—an inventive project introducing them to hands-on problem solving in engineering.
